Café de PéPé - Week 12
Sunday, March 1, 2026Braised Beef Short Rib and Spring Risotto
Charlie + Will + Oliver
Braised in a homemade stock with wine and mirpoix, the short rib was fall-off-the-bone tender after it had been in the oven for 3 hours. Rich, hearty, and deeply flavorful, the meat was worth the wait.
The risotto was made with a blend of onions, asparagus, peas, and a generous amount of parmesan cheese. A perfect accompaniment to the short rib, the creamy risotto was a great way to lighten up the meal.
Fight-worthy Chocolate Cake
Celeste + Julie + EllenAiry yet still intensely chocolatey, this cake was such a crowd pleaser that it caused a minor fight over the last slice. The whipped eggwhites helped make the cake lighter than a typical torte but still rich and decadent.
