True Food Kitchen Debuts Fall Seasonal Menu

December 07, 2016

It's so easy to eat healthy and delicious foods at True Food Kitchen at Fashion Island. And, now is a great time to get in to try the fall menu featuring seasonally-driven food and autumn-inspired cocktails and refreshers. Each dish follows the principles of the anti-inflammatory food pyramid, and its commitment to wholesome seasonal ingredient and simple preparations so that you can enjoy the freshness and flavor.

Favorites from the fall menu include Charred Cauliflower, Chioggia Beet Bruschetta and the Vegetarian Garden Scramble featuring organic scrambled eggs with smoked gouda and topped with smoked onions, braised Swiss chard, roasted butternut squash, roasted Brussels sprouts and roasted cauliflower. We loved the housemade vegan Butternut Squash pizza featuring artisan pizza dough baked with garlic puree, roasted butternut squash, kale, smoked onions and topped with thyme, sage, lemon oil, dried cranberries and vegan almond ricotta. 

The Pan Roasted Chicken is a must; it’s a boneless half chicken served with cannellini beans, maple glazed butternut squash and braised Swiss chard in an apple-rosemary jus with sage leaves and thyme. True Food is also a great place just to stop in for desserts! The new options include guilt-free and gluten free desserts including the famed Squash Pie featuring a graham pie crust filled with butternut squash and topped with whipped coconut cream and the Apple Goji Crisp made with Fuji apples and goji berries tossed with lemon and cinnamon, topped with an almond crumble and then baked and topped with whipped coconut cream.

At True Food Kitchen’s scratch bar, you can enjoy a fall-inspired lineup of handcrafted cocktails that are as nutrient-rich as they are ripe with flavor, like the Apple Ginger Mule, Autumn Orchard Sour, Honey & Grapefruit Mimosa and the Cranberry & Pomegranate Mimosa.  All-natural seasonal juices, teas and refreshers are also available including the Pressed Apple Soda, Orange Rooibos Tea, Ginger Tulsi Tea and Apple Carrot Ginger Tonic. 

True Food Kitchen’s seasonal menu will also feature some of its most popular offerings including the Spaghetti Squash Casserole, Edamame Dumplings, Scottish Steelhead, Sustainable Seabass, Kale Guacamole, Turkey Burger, Farmers Market Crudités, and desserts like our favorite Flourless Chocolate Cake, among others.

Open 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Sunday through Thursday; 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Saturday; and 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Sunday.
