I urge anyone who loves food to look into booking a stay (you need to book months in advance) and experience an incredible night that starts with checking into his beautiful boutique Inn at Bay Fortune. At 4pm the evening starts with a glass of wine and a tour of the gardens where Michael is a big believer in sustainable agriculture, growing his own food and eating local. At 5pm Oyster Hour starts where the oysters are fresh from the area mixed in with 3-4 other stations of amazing small bites prepared by his culinary team of young up and coming chefs. At 6pm-10pm is the Fireside Feast where Michael Smith himself delivered the first course to my table, I was in heaven. What I loved about the entire experience is that Michael was mentoring a crew of young chefs and you could tell they all loved being there, cooking for us under the guidance of such an icon in the food industry. I took 240 pictures that night and to narrow it down to a select few for this blog was incredibly hard. When I get my YouTube Channel up I will have to make an entire video dedicated to this experience as it was that amazing. As you can see in the one picture with Michael and 3 of his chefs, each and every single plate went out with his touch. He was teaching them attention to detail, putting love into each plate. The beef was stacked on top of the vegetables and garnished with a simple herb. The salad had edible flowers, the halibut also had herbs on top and plated beautifully. There was a seafood chowder and an amazing dessert not pictured and the evening ended with homemade marshmallows roasted by the fire while socializing with the other guests staying at the Inn. It was the best evening!!
Overall this experience has been one of the highlights of my life and I hope it brings you some excitement about preparing your next meal and if you are stuck with what to cook, look for Michael Smith's newest cookbook (he autographed my copy, I feel so lucky!!) and the dishes from the Fireside Feast are in this book and I can't wait to try and make them one day when I am back in the kitchen! Thank you for following my journey to writing a book series!
Stay balanced, LeeAnna
