Carrots from the garden, wrapped in local bacon, with drizzled maple syrup from this year's harvest. Garnished with crazy daisies and tiger lily.
The carrots are sweet & crisp straight from the ground this time of year 🥕
The syrup is a whole new way to experience nature’s natural sweetener. 🍁
& Don’t eat just any lily! + keep all lilies away from your pets. Tiger lillies are the only exception for humans. Prized for their tuber, and edible flower.
*Please don’t eat any plant you haven’t grown and properly researched yourself.

The answer to that last post..
“I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream!”
Chef Ken's version of Eton mess, as per a guest's request.

Meringue with lavender & viola ice cream, wild raspberries and blackberries. 🤤

We are so grateful to have the wild berries in abundance around us. We will try our best to forage a bit to use and store in the freezer until we want that sweet reminder of summer in the fall or winter months.
.Did you know today is national ice cream day?!

07/16/2023

Look at that beautiful purple… Lavender and viola petals.
Any guesses to what this becomes?

We’ve been busy in the garden! We love growing as much as we can to go towards private dinners, catering and our own meals!

What’s growing in your garden?

03/18/2023

Maple syrup time!!
Ken is using a hand drill to tap the Sugar maple for mother nature’s liquid gold 🍁

*What is it to “tap” a tree?*
During the spring months in the northern hemisphere you drill a hole approximately 1.5 inches in a sugar maple tree and collect the sap that runs when temperatures freeze at night and thaw during the day.
We will collect the sap for a couple of days until we’re ready to reduce on the fire!
So grateful to be surrounded by these beautiful trees.

03/09/2023

Caprese skewers. 👏🏻🤤

03/07/2023

Tempura fried vegetables with homemade red pepper jelly.
Something that doesn’t travel well for take out or delivery when ordering food, but when you have in house catering with The Dappled Crow you’ll get to experience these crisp, hot and delicious just like they’re intended.

Sneak peak.. we’re so excited the sap is flowing from our beautiful sugar maples.

We are having a lot of fun with private in-home dinners and parties!

This year we experimented with storing some of our delicious garden harvest. We love adding some extra colour to our winter dishes and the reminder of the bountiful days of summer as we eagerly await the next growing season.

Here we have our home-grown microgreen nasturtiums as a garnish for seared salmon with a twist of lemon. Butternut squash and beet risotto show off the rich colours of winter, paired with roasted garlic rapini and chickpeas sautéed in olive oil.

02/11/2023

Melt in your mouth double baked potato bites. A party favourite to pass around. Ken calls them one bite.. but they’re more like two or three. Look closer to see some of our dried nasturtiums topped as garnish.
