Experience an Aboriginal Feast during the Olympics

February 18th, 2010 admin

Tzo’kam

Kanata Cuisine and Nk’Mip Cellars has teamed up to offer an Aboriginal Feast with Wine Pairings for 14 nights during the Olympics at the Native Education College’s Longhouse. The evening starts off with a traditional welcome song that greets people in the longhouses’ fire lit gathering hall. Musical entertainment is provided by Tzo’kam, an acclaimed family of performers from the L’il’wat Nation. Chef Ben Genaille has created a menu that is paired well with the wines and the pairing with the braised bison short ribs was my favourite.

The seven course menu is $245 per person (not including taxes or gratuity).

Here is the menu, starting with the 1st course:

“hot rock” Poached Spot Prawn with cattail heart cream, wild onion oil – paired with 2008 Rieslling
