SUMMER BARBECUES ARE THE BEST

 I threw out my little charcoal barbecue because it was falling apart.

Luckily I have two daughters with backyard gas ones. So dinners out and barbecues have been enjoyed this summer.


Granpa always loved a picnic lunch especially fried chicken. Oh the memories!

Summer and barbecues and picnics. Always will miss Granpa's cooking. Luckily we have the recipes, the pictures and the memories.

CHEF ZACH AT RIVERSTONE ECO RETREAT CENTRE.

 The menu for a wonderful lunch and tasting of the dishes by Chef Zach Keeshig and his interns at Riverstone ECO Retreat Centre near Durham- Grey County Ontario.
The day was an excursion for Sonya from House of Kerrs to write about the menu as well as experience the Riverstone Eco Retreat Centre.






Zach's 5 interns from various areas in Ontario and one from as far away as Nunavut introduced themselves before the dishes were served. They will be continuing their studies at various Ontario colleges.
Using food from the land, the array of dishes were so tasty.
House of Kerrs will feature the dishes.

I loved the sourdough bread cooked in the wood fire oven with the maple syrup from Riverstone and herbs from the garden. The whitefish cooked on birch bark was a delight to see. The desserts were good but the maple sponge toffee with wild mint chocolate truffle was a great finish to the whole culinary experience.
A tour of the property as well as the garden after a little walk over the bridge illustrated what a wonderful place for a retreat as well as any formal events. Many weddings have been held there.


So have a look at the menu. You can go to Chef Zach Keeshig's  facebook page and book an experience. It would be worth the adventure. As for me the Retreat setting would be a great getaway for some reflective thinking. And more good eating!!
