Chef April Bloomfield, a Birmingham, England native, has spent most of her life in the kitchen. Today, she runs two Michelin starred restaurants in New York City, The Spotted Pig, and The Breslin Bar & Dining Room.

A Food & Wine “Best New Chef,” she won “Best Chef, NYC” at the 2014 James Beard Awards.

A Girl and Her Greens is a beautiful, fully illustrated cookbook that offers scrumptious seasonal recipes for her true love—vegetables. Recipes like whole-pot roasted cauliflower with tomatoes and anchovies and asparagus and parmesan fonduta will get you ready for warm, savory, autumn meals.

And on a night when you don’t feel like cooking, treat yourself at Chef April Bloomfield’s, The Breslin Bar & Dining Room, a British gastropub in the Ace Hotel. Indulge in the intensely flavored beef-and-Stilton pie, crispy fried lamb “scrumpets,” the grown-up version of chicken tenders served with an elegant mint sauce for dipping or a classic bowl of French onion soup.

Hillrock Solera Aged Bourbon, donated by SWILL

From the heart of the Hudson Valley comes a work of art from master distiller, Dave Pickerell. This is the first and only Solera aged/blended bourbon on the market. It is produced by marrying mature seed bourbon with mature estate bourbon, then finishing the blend in twenty year old Oloroso sherry casks before bottling.

The resulting spirit offers a pronounced nose of caramel, dried fruit, vanilla, oak and spice, accented by an elegant floral note. The complex, full-bodied palate opens with rich notes of brown sugar, molasses and toffee, quickly followed by roasted corn, clove, cinnamon and a touch of spicy rye. Characteristic Oloroso sherry notes of walnut, fig and candied fruit merge with caramel and butterscotch on the long, balanced finish.
