Visit them at http://www.blackwolfvineyards.com Chef Michael promises other themes in upcoming weeks, but this week his recipes and theme are: Old New York German Recipes. Enjoy! ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Growing up in New York there were many influences when it came to food. This is a menu that I put together to reflect food items that have a German origin. Some ingredients have been changed to reflect American ingredients and my own personal taste, but they're all from the old neighborhood.
