Food Art
Here at La Cuisine, we really do consider food be a form of art. With that in mind, we had to share this edible cheese sculpture that the team created for an event earlier in the month.

Events at Trout Lily Farm
We are so excited to announce our partnership with the beautiful Trout Lily Farm in North Guilford. Nestled on a hillside overlooking Lake Quonnipaug, and surrounded by organic garden beds, the newly renovated “Garden Kitchen” space is perfect for a baby or wedding shower, an extra special birthday celebration, or an intimate rehearsal dinner.  The space can accommodate 20 people inside, and up to 40 with the addition of a tent over the outdoor deck. La Cuisine will craft a menu using seasonal and farm ingredients based on your wishes. Please email us if you are interested in learning more.
