When summer fruits are at their sweetest, peaches make a worthy substitution for the strawberries in this recipe.
8 lg. strawberries
8 tbsp. Neufchatel cheese, softened
1 tablespoon chopped mint
1 teaspoon lemon zest
Salt and pepper to taste
1/2 seedless cucumber, thinly sliced
1 bunch watercress, long stems trimmed
8 slices whole wheat sandwich bread
Serves 4
Chop 4 of the strawberries and slice the remaining 4. In a large bowl, mash chopped strawberries with a fork. Add Neufchâtel, mint, zest, salt and pepper and mix until well combined.
Spread strawberry mixture evenly between slices of bread then arrange cucumbers, sliced berries and watercress over half of the slices. Top with remaining slices to form sandwiches then halve each and serve. Enjoy!

Eos will host Annalisa Battuello, founder/owner of the Italian winery, Il Tenuta I Quaranta, straight from Piemonte, with a five course dinner created by Chef Wes Long to pair with I Quaranta’s fine wines. A few words from Battuello herself: “Life deserves to be lived well. Enjoyed and colored. With people around and new relationships being built. Life is a place for interaction. It is a place for true emotion. It is a place for something bigger than individualistic selfishness. Tenuta I Quaranta is my dedication to life.” This very special evening will be $65 per person.

I don’t usually pay much attention to chain restaurants, being a firm believer in patronizing our local eateries. However, over the years, we’ve had so many calls and emails from readers longing for a fondue place, that we’re happy to say that The Melting Pot will soon bring us all the fondue we could want, from cheese to chocolate and everything in between. Opening of the Broughton Street eatery is currently scheduled for late August.

One of our SavannahBest foodie scouts reports that a new, upscale, and very beautiful restaurant called Ele recently opened on Hwy 80 on Tybee Island. A “fusion” of several asian cuisines, Ele is reputedly drop-dead gorgeous with great food, but that’s as much detail as we have at the moment. If anyone knows anything more, do let us know!
