Team: John the Sous chef

John the Sous chef helps focus my scatter brain when I walk into the kitchen with 10 lbs of wine berries from the side of the road at 5:30 and declare that we should reprint the menus.   He also puts up with all my questions like did you add salt to that (the answers always, yes).  I depend on him to think like I do only an hour ahead of when I am actually going to think it. Yeah his favorite color is black!

Welcome to the Schoolhouse Blog

I am starting up this blog to give all of our friends and supporters a behind the scenes look at what’s going on in our heads at the Schoolhouse.  We are a tiny 30 seat chef-owned restaurant that changes the menu daily/weekly or whenever we like.  We try to do a few things well.  In a fast paced world where we can order strawberries in the winter, squash in the summer, and buy food flown in from all over the world, we like to take it slow and wait for our vegetables to grow out of the dirt right here in Wilton.  As cooks we like to make food!  If it’s on our menu it means we made it, from pasta to ice cream, to stocks and sauces.  

This website will give us an oportunity to show you what we really do, in an informal way.

I am still figuring out how to use this website so I am sure that it will be forever under construction but check back now and again to see whats new.
