The end of a year prompts us to look back on past seasons, and dishes their ingredients inspired. From last winter:

1. Snacks celebrating a beautiful array of seafoods
2. Spot prawns, Dungeness crab, and an æbelskiver over a hot coal
3. What appear to be cinnamon rolls at first glance turn out to be surprisingly savory chanterelle rolls
4. Farro porridge, an ideal cold weather dish

It’s safe to say that during our last menu Seth was in his pie era. Both the bread course and dessert were nods to some of his favorite pies.

The dessert pictured is reminiscent of pecan pie, which Matt brought a summery lightness to with Kashiwase white nectaries. It was the perfect combination of a rich, decadent pecan pie and celebration Bay Area farm produce.

Cooking with only live fire presents a certain set of challenges. It requires a deeper sense of focus, and constant attention. Every day is a bit different than the last, but the theme remains the same; try to control the unruly beast that is fire.

Baking in the wood fire oven takes even more focus and care. Constant attention with little room to let your guard down yields the best results in the oven. The simplest tasks require a watchful eye and frequent rotation in an environment where the majority of the heat produced comes from one direction.

At Osito we welcome the challenge. We love the sense of connection to our craft through the lense of live fire.
