I just finished shooting a selection of plates from the new summer menu at Perigee Restaurant in Lee, MA. When owner Dawn LaRochelle calls me to shoot her food I know it’s going to be good, and this was no exception. The Head Chef Joe Baczek, and Sous Chef Eric Anderson did a brilliant job with the presentations. Here are but a few of the offerings…

Pan-Seared Shrimp and Scallops, over sweet pea risotto; topped with horseradish-cilantro pesto

Roasted Duck Breast over wild mushroom and sage butter farro; topped with an over-easy duck egg

Pan Seared Trout Piccata over black pepper fettuccini with market-fresh vegetables

NY Strip Au Poivre, encrusted with pink and green peppercorns, topped with Cricket Creek Farms 'Maggies's Round' cheese

Seafood Martini, Asian-inspired cerviche featuring scallops, shrimp and lobster marinated with white soy and yuzu

Braised Beef Short Ribs, over pan-fried polenta cake; topped with tomato and wild mushroom ragout

Paella Valencia, saffron rice, scallops, shrimp, smoked chicken, chorizo sausage, clams, carmelized onions, garbonzo beans and market-fresh vegetable

Pomegranate-Glazed Salmon, over lemon-scented farro with market-fresh vegetable
