Notes from Antonio Cardoso, Executive Chef at Conrad New York:
“The earthy flavors of beautiful carrots and vanilla butternut squash purée grounds the dish.”
“The taste of mint, bergamot and grape in the Energy blend is concentrated as the light foam atop pan-roasted scallops. Then the earthy flavors of beautiful carrots and vanilla butternut squash purée grounds the dish.”
