Culinary Getaway with the "Island Gourmet Girls"

Two Fun Getaways!
Saturday & Sunday June 4-5    or   Tuesday & Wednesday June 7-8

2011 Gourmet Girls Update!  

Well folks, it seems the illustrious Ms.Greenlaw has deemed a national book tour promoting the upcoming release of her latest literary offering, a cookbook, co-written with her Mom Martha, to be a tad more important than hosting a dinner party on Isle au Haut.....hmmph....what is she thinking?!

So as a result, myself, and the lovely and talented (and soon-to-be cookbook authoress herself!) Kate Shaffer of Black Dinah Chocolatiers will attempt to fill the boots of our wayward sea captain.

The details of Linda’s part of the package described below will be changed to include more fun in the Inn kitchen, and lucky you, more face time with yours truly. In addition to the morning sessions preparations, we will make pasta from scratch, a saucy little somethin’ somethin’ for drizzling on top and embellish it all with a fresh offering from the sea. Then we’ll whip up a tasty appetizer and round up Kate and her business partner husband Steve, crack a bottle of vino and eat ourselves silly!

Hmmph...Linda-Shminda....who needs ’er....ain’t nothing she can do we can’t do better....c’ept maybe finesse a giant fish on to the deck of a wildly pitching boat out in the middle of the big ass ocean while it’s blowing a gale....hmmph.... Any-way.

Should the famed captain’s schedule change and she somehow manages to shake free on the dates offered (and hasn’t read this!) we will go with the plan as it is written below, but I wouldn’t count on it.

Sincerely, Your Humble Innkeeper, Diana

Gourmet Cooking, Delicious Seafood Meals
and Artisanal Chocolate Making

Begin your culinary adventure on the evening of your arrival with a delicious dinner prepared for you by Diana in the Inn's kitchen.

The next morning, join Diana for a 2-hour class preparing bread, a side dish and dessert for the evening meal. At noontime we take a break, relax and enjoy the packed lunch provided. After lunch, time to go for a stroll, take out one of the Inn bikes or just lounge in a lawn chair and soak up the surf sound until dinner.

After breakfast the following morning, you will take your packed lunch over to Black Dinah Chocolatiers, where Kate Shaffer will give a hands-on 2-hour demonstration of artisanal chocolate making. You will learn about “ganache”, “couverture” and the origin of the elusive “East Side Pink Flamingo.” Kate will return you to the Inn, in time to catch the 4:30 pm mailboat back to the mainland.

Special souvenirs, too: Each person will receive a copy of the Inn at Isle au Haut Cookbook, an Isle au Haut apron, their own loaf of homemade bread and handmade truffles from Black Dinah Chocolatiers.
