Dear friends,

This week, I am excited to bring a little taste of Montalvo to your inbox. 
The masterful Maria Lynn, chef at our Lucas Artists Program, has begun making Friday Night Suppers: elegant, healthy, and hand-crafted dinners delivered to your door. The concept is simple, and the food is delicious. In the words of our neighbor and patron Rosemary Adamson:
Chef Maria is phenomenal!
As another satisfied patron put it, “Friday Night Suppers has made ‘dining in’ a welcome marker during this crazy time.” 
And I know first-hand, as I enjoyed a gorgeous vegan feast last Friday in my Los Altos home. Plus, no pots to clean! What are you waiting for?    
Recent entrees have included crispy roast chicken, cioppino of calamari, or kale chopped salad, and may include artisanal bread and dessert. For this week's menu and how to order, read on:
To Order a Friday Night Supper

#SongsOfComfort with Russell Hancock
