The Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum in Ridgefield, CT with be debuting a new lifestyle event series called Contemporary Social on Friday, March 2, 2018. It’s a festive evening that celebrates culture, cuisine and craft. Tracey will be featured there doing a book signing and cookbook food samples. She will also be discussing her latest projects and the farm to table and non-GMO movements.

In honor of the event, I’m featuring a recipe from Tracey, Brussels Sprouts with a Creamy Sriracha Dipping Sauce that was quoted as “Brussels sprouts with creamy sriracha dipping sauce will convert even purported sprouts naysayers.” by Maria Buteux Reade from Edible Green Mountains Magazine.
