Farm to table dinner
Did you know that douglas fir trees have edible needles?
Some with more vitamin C than an orange and excellent as a sore throat remedy. In the spring you would pick the bright green tips(pictured below) which are really tasty with foresty lemon notes. I make a forest ice cream of them, but you can also use them as a herb to flavour roast pork or make a nice tea to help with a
cold. Happy harvesting:)

SPRING FORAGED DINNER
Our favourite vegetarian kitchen wizard, chef Heather Dosman (Acorn, Farmer's apprentice, Grapes & Soda, Existential Eating) is back for a pop-up dinner at the Swallow Tail secret Supper Club. Her favourite vegetarian dishes made with the best of our spring harvest. Heather is a forager, so she will be collecting spring delicacies for this meal; nettles, currant blossoms, maple blossoms or whatever
else is shooting up for the season. This should be really fun with a group of food loving folks at the long table. A stunning 69 for 6 courses, byob.
THE MENU
Spring vegetable crudite
Spring greens, pistachio, pecorino tartufo, pickled garlic scape, flowering currant blossom
Asparagus, buttermilk, young leek, fin herb oil, crispy sourdough crumb
Stinging nettle & ricotta agnolotti, lemon butter
Radishes, black pepper chèvre cream, pastry, honey gastrique
Rhubarb, creme patisserie, olive oil crumble, herbs
WHAT IS JAGGERY?
If you are always on the hunt for alternatives to refined white sugar this is a tasty, unrefined sugar, people! Slightly less sweet than maple syrup, a little thicker than honey with a rich, brown sugar-like flavor, jaggery is worth getting to know. It's like a cross between spicy molasses and buttery caramel. Try some with Indian Chef Valentino at our Ayurvedic dinner, details below...
