EVENT DESCRIPTION
Taking place on the magnificent forested grounds of Bryson Lake Lodge, the day-long event is intended to celebrate the culinary culture of the Outaouais, and more specifically the products of gathering, hunting and fishing.
Through a series of activities, participants will be invited to sample certain local products and learn about the culinary wealth of the territory. The schedule for the day is as follows:
- Walleye, pike and lake trout fishing;
- Workshop 1: How to fillet your catch and prepare your fish, and learn different cooking techniques (led by Denis Lebrun, Bryson Lake Lodge);
- Workshop 2: Recognizing and picking edible plants to complement a meal (leader to be confirmed);
- Discover and taste a Quebec cocktail (led by Nadia Dufour, Terroir et Saveur);
- Four-course dinner;
- Workshop 3: Stargazing (leader to be confirmed).
At the event, the Brauwerk Hoffman microbrewery will launch a new local beer that will be available at Workshop 1 and at dinner. It will be a white beer with notes of pine.
The dinner will be the highlight of the event. We are looking for a talented chef who values cooking with local ingredients and celebrating nature in all its richness. We are aiming for a simple menu with fish as the main ingredient. Tasty, original and balanced are the keywords.
