Growing up on a lush rural farm, Chef-owner Mohsen Alam El Din was raised on homegrown fruits, vegetables and meats. He ate greens and corn from the family garden, beef from the ranch and pate from his grandmother's hand-fed flock of geese. Early on, he learned that great cooking starts with the freshest ingredients.
Mohsen Alam El Din, is a graduate of the Culinary Institute of America, and has used his “seasonally inspired” philosophy to create a “Rustic American” menu at the Plumbush, a cozy Victorian restaurant and inn set in the scenic Hudson Valley.
“It's all the freshest food on the market and as much organic and locally grown food as we can get our hands on,” Mr. Alam El Din said.
Mr. Alam El Din runs the kitchen, where he turns out dishes such as Moroccan spiced Tilapia served over rice and sauteed vegetables and Venison Chop with rosemary, dried fruit,and a red wine reduction.
The Plumbush restaurant is open seven days a week, approximately about 50 miles north of New York City. |
