Lido, located in Harlem features James Beard award-winning author and celebrity chef and caterer to the stars, Serena Bass, at the helm. Here her dishes transcend traditional Italian cuisine to infuse accents of the Mediterranean and her own British charm. Decadent, yet locally sourced, and organic where possible, the menu at Lido is sure to impress with signature winter dishes including Charred Kale Salad with white beans, rosemary and parmesan; Duck Bolognese; and her favorite Cranberry Chocolate Bread Pudding for dessert, with her own creatively crafted cocktails including the Cocoa Rico this winter: hot chocolate with a twist.This is a delicious recipe from Chef Serena that would be perfect for a winter gathering. The roasted tomatoes and sage pesto can stand alone, but together served on crostini, they make a deliciously irresistible paring.
