Mikael Andersson Demonstrates Le Garage's Fish Chowder

Did you know the best fish chowder is actually baked?  Le Garage executive chef Mikael Andersson shared that and many other food prep secrets last Monday during the second Meet Your Chefs session.

Altiero Leads the Way with "Pork St. Philips"

The Wiscasset chapter of Meet Your Chefs is underway and off to a roaring start! Chef Kerry Altiero cooked up a delicious pork/apple/apple cider/kale/broth/Fiore vinegar dish with loads of humor for 16 participants on October 3rd at St. Philip's Episcopal Church.  When asked the name of the dish, after a brief pause, he responded, with a twinkle in his eye, "Pork St. Philips!" (Apparently Altiero's creation did not have a name until that moment.) The evening was a raging success: it included a discussion on buying local and affordable products, new food preparation techniques, and as always, bonus entertainment Chef Kerry seems to have no problem dishing up alongside his delectable concoctions.
