Hi Sarah and Kevin,
It was an absolute pleasure gabbing and getting a chance to sample some of your culinary wizardry. You've got a great thing going and I have no doubt it's going to catch like wild fire! Sarah, as promised, I'm sending you the information for that butcher in Norwood who has a huge selection of sausages. His info is in the editorial attached. Looking forward to catching one of your upcoming bistro nights....
Keep busy.
Cheers,
We just returned from a holiday in Haliburton where I
made the most wonderful culinary discovery. There is a couple, Sara Bornstein
and Kevin Brandt (formerly chef at Xacutti) who have a farm near Kinmount
where they produce the most wonderful fresh and frozen meals, desserts, and
both savory and sweet preserves. Rob and I are crazy about their food. I hate
potato salad yet I was eating theirs for breakfast. I don't really like pie
yet I couldn't get enough of theirs.
At any rate, I wanted to put you both in touch with each
other because:
1) they sell cheese at the local farmers market and also
their farm and perhaps there is a way around the travel logistics and they
might be able to sell some of your cheeses
2) you might want to sell some of their produce. If you
are still opening the cheese shop in Yorkville their frozen dishes and/or
preserves would be perfect.
What's in it for me...i'm suffering from Harmony Farm
withdrawal and would like to be able to purchase it in TO.
So, Kevin meet Cole and Cole meet Kevin. I hope there's
a mutually beneficial future together. Keep me posted,
Hi Sara &
Kevin
Just wanted
to let you know that the meal Friday night was wonderful. We all thoroughly
enjoyed it and had a wonderful evening because of it. Your instructions were
great, everything came together as if you were here and sat it in front of us
yourselves. All 4 courses were to die for and the flavours complimented each
other extremely well. I also feel it was an excellent price for what we got –
we even had some leftovers and were glad we were at home and could change into
our PJ’s before we had dessert. I will certainly consider doing an evening like
this again and I will recommend it to all of our friends.
Thanks for
making the occasion a memorable evening.
Hi Sara and Kevin
My husband Matt and I stopped in at your place for
the first time yesterday. We were in desperate need of something appetizing to
serve at a rather last minute arrangement for dinner with my mother- in - law.
We bought your smoked chicken pies, squash and maple soup, red pepper dip and
flax crackers. What a treat! I was the best meal we had had in some time!
Incredibly fresh tasting, flavourful and unique. It was not just "pot pie"
but "smoked" chicken pie - what a fantastic flavour! Similarly, the soup and
dip were very fresh tasting and full of flavour too! Thank you so much. We
will make a point of coming home from the cottage your way more often. We
think your company is fantastic and will send as much business to you as
possible.
Thanks again!
