Wakefield Inn

Our guests have arrived at the Wakefield Inn for our April culinary retreat weekend. There will be four 2-hour classes that are hands-on, and involve a lot of techniques. We will make sauces and soups, bread and tarts, <a href=”http://technorati.com/claim/h8xrzv79cy” rel=”me”>Technorati Profile</a>stuffed pork loin, risotto, lavender creme brulee and chocolate mousse.

All of the meals are provided, and all but one are at the Inn sampling the items that we have made.  We pair that with wine on the last evening and enjoy the fruits of our labor as a 5-course meal.

Whenever possible we us local ingredients, and today had a salad with the most wonderful cranberry chevre.  It could be eaten as a dessert it is so delicious.  Jenny Tapper of Via LacteaFarm and Brookfield Dairy makes the cheese.  They make a great excursion during one of the breaks from the kitchen, and are just 5 miles away.  They also make their own maple syrup and soap.  Right now you can stop by and visit the kids, baby goats that is, they are so cute.
