Now on the Spring Menu at The Fearrington House: Chef Paul Gagne’s Seared Flounder with Saffron & Fava Bean, Carolina Gold Rice, Golden Beet, and Rosé is a celebration of the season. Inspired by the fresh, bright flavors of spring, Paul highlights local ingredients—NC flounder, Carolina Gold rice, and saffron-pickled golden beets, finished with a delicate rosé gel. It’s a beautifully composed dish that captures the essence of spring on a plate.

“Spring is about renewal and lightness—this dish brings together fresh, local ingredients in a way that feels vibrant, bright, and balanced. I wanted to let the natural flavors speak for themselves.” — Chef Paul Gagne
