Má Pêche (Momofuku in midtown) surprised us with a delicious vegan entrée for lunch today. The rice cakes ($18) were served with green garlic purée and hon shimeji mushrooms. What could have ended up like a plate of mushy gnocchi turned out to be something totally mouth watering. Each rice cake was very gently toasted (or maybe fried) to give it an unexpected crispiness. The green garlic sauce was spicy and so good!

I want a Christina Tosi cake for my wedding… or at least my next birthday! I think the frosting-less cakes are so beautiful.

Of course I also bought some of her truffles. The new flavor is strawberry lemon cake. SO GOOD. Is it the powdered milk that makes them so irressistible?
