FOODIE NIRVANA II: GET THE PICTURE?






One blog posting just isn't enough to hold all the pics from any one experience at Onion Creek Kitchens at Juniper Hills Farm, so here are a few more. Owner Sibby is the petite blonde to the left of the stove. Check out her website for even more views of the place, including the casitas where you can stay overnight if you wish, and the lovely vanishing-edge pool. That pool looked so cool and inviting, and the small kitchen got so toasty warm once we are all crammed in there with burners and oven going full-blast, it was all I could do not to jump right in, chef's apron and all! Of course the new kitchen, with all it's airiness and space to spread out, won't have that problem. I absolutely adore that wonderfully rustic, mosaic- encrusted bar out by the pool. Doesn't it just scream out "Cantina Garden!" Also by the pool is a fairly modern dining area, complete with fireplace and some hi-tech kitchen equipment and grills. Nice, but what I love is the more rustic area out amidst the junipers, where you'll find that very European style dining table and pergola pictured in yesterday's post, and the wood-burning oven you can glimpse here, behind the bottle tree. Such bliss!
