"This starter provides a light and fresh opening that complements the Forager's Ravioli. The creamy whipped ricotta echoes the ricotta filling in the ravioli, while the lemon zest and pea shoots introduce bright, herbaceous notes that prepare the palate for the nettle and lemon thyme flavors to come. The crostini adds a textural crunch that contrasts with the soft ravioli."

"The Lemon and Hazelnut Panna Cotta provides a light, refreshing, and subtly sweet ending that harmonizes beautifully with the Forager's Ravioli. The lemon echoes the citrus notes in the ravioli, while the hazelnut connects to the nutty element. The creamy panna cotta offers a contrasting texture, and the wildflower honey introduces a touch of sweetness without being heavy, maintaining the meal's overall light and fresh feel."
