Drawing inspiration from Tuscany, Chef Patty presented dishes that capitalized on robust but light-handed flavors and carefully selected wine pairings.

A perfect example was the second course. Thinly sliced eggplant and yellow squash transformed into elegant wide "noodles" that were piled high and bathed in a creamy white sauce that, which looked like a rich bechamel, but once on the tongue provided a subtle lemony lightness, a perfect farewell to summer produce.
