THE ROMAINE LETTUCES AT GARDEN OF CHU WERE A FOOT LONG, FADING FROM PALE GREEN TO SUNSHINE YELLOW. SOPHIE LOVES CAESAR SALAD, SO HOW COULD I RESIST? BUT RATHER THAN THE USUAL ANCHOVY, GARLIC AND EGG YOLK, I WANTED SOMETHING CREAMIER, MORE DECADENT FOR THESE PRISTINE LETTUCES. SO I COMBINED GRATED PARMESAN WITH A BIT OF LEMON JUICE, WHITE VINEGAR AND HEAVY CREAM BEFORE BEATING IN THE OLIVE OIL. TORN, RATHER THAN CUBED CROUTONS, ARE CRISPIER AND THE IRREGULAR SHAPES MORE FUN TO EAT. A FEW RADISHES, SOME SHAVINGS OF PARMESAN TO FINISH AND ONE HAPPY DAUGHTER.
