Wood Fired Solstice Dinner
Saturday June 19th 5:00 P.M.

Members Only Event

SOLD OUT!

Enjoy the longest night of the year with Sophia, our hot and tempestuous
wood-fired oven!

Pot Luck with a twist!

Instead of bringing prepared dishes, we need you to bring raw ingredients
(locally sourced) to be fired in the oven.

We will need your hands to help prepare the dishes, so be prepared to roll
up your sleeves!

The Menu

• Hand Made Artisan Pizzas
• Roasted Vegetable Salad
• Oven Roasted Fowl
• Oven Roasted Potatoes
• Solstice Green Salad
• Roasted Fruit Compote with Pannacotta

How will it work?

We have oven room to feed 30 people. There is no cost for this event, other
than the ingredients you bring.

Just Email vincentroy@shaw.ca with the number of persons that are attending

We will contact you with an ingredient list and the amount that we need you
to bring. Any special instructions for the ingredients/dish will be shared
at that time. Bring a beverage if you wish to partake, and we will supply
some as well. The address and directions will be supplied at that time.

Even if the weather is un-cooperative, we will still cook outside and enjoy
the meal inside!

Cheers!

Did you know… there’s a movie of Rare Birds? Why not watch the movie and read In Defence?

Pot Luck: bring a “Rare Birds” inspired dish, full of good, clean and fair food. (Hint: Rare Birds is set in Newfoundland. Or you could cook a bird rare… that bird would have to be duck please).
Maybe we’ll get a certain newfie/slow food member to come and screech you in.

I will also be showing a short cartoon called “The Meatrix”.
