Well as you can see, we’ve been a little bit busy over the past few weeks, and unfortunately our blog has been neglected! But the good news is we’ve added a couple of key staff members to our roster, with the recent acquisition of an event coordinator and a trainee chef. Both badly needed and to date demonstrating excellent skills to keep our business running smoothly. Caroline has transformed the entire house from Fall to Winter with a seasonal Christmas theme evident inside and out. What a powerhouse of energy and ideas! And Jamie has produced some wonderful concoctions in the kitchen to add to our festive menu offerings, with the biggest hits being the Carrot & Ginger Soup, and Chocolate Lava Cakes. Darcy stays on top of everything in his own inimitable and professional way, and always wow’s us with his plate presentation. Jamie is certainly learning from a master chef! The feedback from our Murder Mystery diners and Christmas events on the food has been extremely positive and encouraging for everyone.
So as we enter the Christmas season, we have meal bookings every Wednesday through Saturday, with some brunch dates as well as evening dinners, and Murder Mystery dates through to Dec 18th. We're in the midst of holiday cookie baking, made some fantastic (if I might say so myself) Christmas Puddings substituting the suet and mixed peel with shredded carrot and apple. Served with a Brown Sugar sauce and maybe just a hint of brandy - heaven on a plate!
We’re hosting a Food Service Graduation luncheon for 13 guests on Dec 7th to celebrate the successful completion of the inaugural class. And since 2 of the graduates are now installed at the King George, we could not be more proud to be associated with this program. Although just how we’re going to prep for this event, while attending the ceremony remains to be seen! Time to get all slowcookers operating for a special Beef Shanks in Red Wine entree, preceded by our signature Spinach Pear & Pecan salad. and followed by the luscious Chocolate Lava Cakes. Then on Dec 10th, we're catering a Soup Buffet Supper at the Douglastown Community Centre for the Miramichi Yoga Club - 3 hearty soup choices, 2 salad selections, and an assortment of seasonal pastries for dessert.
Now you can see why we're working full-tilt in the What's Cookin' kitchen, with little or no time for our custom cooking classes! But rest assured, they will resume again in the New Year!
