Saturday Sept 1 Events Part 2 - Chef Demo by Silvie Keen

When you are moving rocks around and mixing up batches of mud with your boots, you are not necessarily expecting an elegant and refreshing cooking lesson that comes with gourmet snacks.  But the lucky people who worked on the cob oven today, along with several members of the community who stopped by got the royal treatment during Chef Silvie Keen's Demonstration featuring a seasonal Tahsis staple, the blackberry.

Layered carrot blackberry salad and blackberry wine gelatin were enjoyed by all.  The crowd of 22 people of all ages lined up for seconds, as a testament to the skill of this enthusiastic chef.  Silvie makes it look easy as she combined fresh simple ingredients to showcase the blackberries that we all love.   Recipes to be posted soon. 

Special thanks go out to the Tahsis Supermarket for it's support, BC Produce Availability Initiative, The Heart and Stroke Foundation and the Tahsis Community Garden Society for hosting this event during the Cob Oven Workshop.
