Autumn is upon us and I am switching gears from a busy summer of wedding catering to what I love most about my job: gathering with foodies like you and cooking together! This is an especially exciting time of year as our harvest is in full force, with many of us picking our own vegetables and tucking our gardens in for the winter. The Thunder Bay Country Market is also in full swing, bustling with more than the usual share of produce.
To celebrate, I want to invite you to an evening of five delicious courses and lively discussion on our local food scene and the creative ways we can enjoy our harvest! We’ll start our evening with a quick tour of the garden as we pick some root veggies, sunchokes, and kale (feel free to arrive at 5:45 if you’d like to be a part of this!). Then we’ll get right into it with a satisfying Indian appetizer of samosas made with our squashes with a fall apple chutney. We’ll follow this with a unique salad of slivered root veggies and Tarrymore Farms bacon, then a comforting wild rice and kale soup. Our main course of Greek stuffed chicken will feature Swiss chard and Walkabout Farm sheep’s feta, along with buttered whipped rutabaga, my favourite way to enjoy this underrated vegetable. Finally, we’ll enjoy some delicious sweet pumpkin in the form of a cheesecake roll!
Menu:
- Samosas with fall squashes; apple chutney
- Slivered root vegetable salad in a buckwheat honey vinaigrette, with micro greens and bacon
- Creamy wild rice soup with sunchokes, kale and fall veggies
- Stuffed Greek chicken with pistachio crust, whipped buttered rutabaga
- Pumpkin cheesecake roll
Bring your partner or a friend and your appetites for this delicious tour of what can be found locally in October!
