Diana in the Kitchen
I love to eat. I enjoy cooking.
That is a good combination.
Pleasing my guests at the dinner table is my pleasure.
I will spoil any guest who stays longer than one night.
As I learn what they like, I raise the bar, and try to
surprise.
I can cook comfort, healthy, and/or spectacular. Let's
talk!

Everyone has a different palate. Generally they fall
into a sweet or a savory pattern. Some folks like
creamy, others prefer dry and crunchy. I like to talk to
my guests when they book, and get a feel for their
likes, and for their needs here.

In order to help people with diet and
nutrition issues, I am happy to
prepare them the foods needed to be
comfortable and confident during their
(much needed) holiday I have learned
a great deal about various diets. We are
all familiar with vegetarian, low fat,
and low sugar diets. Alkaline diet,
Nightshade free diet, Gluten free diet,
Specific Carbohydrate diet, and the
Candida diet have become familiar
territory for me. I enjoy using my
creativity to find ways to please the
palate.
At that point, I
use my imagination to create breakfasts for them. When
there is more than one group in, we need to compromise.
Often the menu is designed around the first ones to
book. I rarely use a recipe. Spontaneity is much more
fun for me, and I like to combine unusual flavours. What
is in season is what is on the table.
Every thing is
real food, made from scratch.

When Umberto
comes, I always make sure to have hot freshly made orange date
muffins for him, along with a cup of tea. Did you realize how
much Italians love
the taste of oranges?
Umberto would
be in heaven to sit with his mug of black coffee and munch on
toast
(no butter) lavished with homemade orange marmalade.
When Loris
came, I knew what to serve him. Toast, no butter, and marmalade.
Toasted
almonds were the crowning touch for him.
Dining Room
Bertha and her mother
Georgina always come in on their way to or from music camp at
Lac Macdonald.
Last summer I was fooling around with pancakes and freshly
picked juicy local strawberries.
The first day I tried
it, they were my panel of food experts.
Big thumbs up!
