\"Don<\/a> Do we look like we're having a good time?<\/strong><\/em>  The answer is YES! …and you can, too.  Chef Bill Jones of Magnetic North Cuisine and Deerholme Farm and I have been accused of being brothers in the past.  Well, we are brothers in food!<\/p>\n

Bill and I are teaming up<\/strong><\/em> for two great presentations on one great weekend in July.<\/p>\n

On Saturday, July 18th,<\/strong><\/em> we present Barbecue with the Masters.<\/span>  Bill and I will explore the world of BBQ cooking. We promise to bring the heat in a variety of forms using charcoal, gas and new pellet-bbq technology to add smokey delights to your day.<\/p>\n

Here's our proposed menu:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Amuses: Chicken and Mushroom Skewers with Hazelnut Satay Sauce<\/p>\n

Grilled Tomato and Goat Cheese Crostini<\/p>\n

\"IMG_2210\"<\/a>  Followed by<\/em>:<\/p>\n

House-smoked Spring Salmon with grilled onion, caper and cream cheese flatbread<\/p>\n

Jamaican Jerk-flavoured pork ribs with grilled Caesar salad<\/p>\n

Dry-rubbed, slow cooked pork shoulder with sunflower coleslaw on herb-garlic foccacia<\/p>\n

Cedar-planked peaches, mint syrup, lemon verbena ice cream<\/p>\n

To get in on this $90 dinner\/class, held at Bill's beautiful Deerholme Farm<\/a>, contact Bill at 250-748-7450 or email him at bill at magnorth.bc.ca. <\/p>\n

The very next day, Sunday, July 19th,<\/strong><\/em> we hit the kitchen again with Cowichan Valley Surf and Turf<\/span>, part of Taste:  Victoria's Festival of Food and Wine<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Forget far-away lobster and feedlot beef<\/strong><\/em>! Bill and I will preside over a scrumptious afternoon delight featuring local pasture-raised chicken and ocean-fresh Dungeness crab. Enjoy 8 different dishes such as chicken stuffed with crab, garlic shoots and morels, and Victoria Gin-soused crab wok-fried with ginger and green onion. Local wines will be served, along with the best fresh produce of the season from the Cowichan Valley, often described as Canada's 'Provence'.<\/p>\n

Ticket price includes transportation<\/strong><\/em> from downtown Victoria to the Cowichan Valley escorted by yours truly on mini-coach. Just an hour's drive to Bill's idyllic Deerholme Farm, the event takes place in and around his lovingly restored 1918 farmhouse.<\/p>\n

$169\/person – including transportation from Victoria, local wine pairings and a fabulous feast.  If you are already in the Cowichan Valley contact me at don at dongenova.com and we'll work something out on the pricing.<\/p>\n
