Confrérie de la Chaîne des Rôtisseurs Chapitre du Canada Toronto, November 3 - 4, 2006 Be sure to plan on joining your confrères at the upcoming Chapitre du Canada in Toronto from November 3-4, 2006 for an incredible weekend event. The organizing committee has put together a truly outstanding program, allowing attendees to sample all of the history, charm and fabulous cuisine Toronto has to offer. Here is a brief overview of the events and venues we will enjoy. St. Lawrence Hall, 1855. Welcome Reception St. Lawrence Town Hall The Hall framed by trees in St. James Park. Photos courtesy of the St. Lawrence Market. The City of Toronto was incorporated from the Town of York in 1834 and for the first eleven years, city council members met in temporary quarters in a market building that once stood on the southwest corner of King Street East and Jarvis Street. This brick structure, the second market building to occupy the site, was built in 1831 but burned down during a great fire in 1849. It was replaced in 1850 by the St. Lawrence Hall, which still stands today. The exterior facade of the city hall, with a frontage of 140 feet facing onto Front Street, was built in contrasting red brick and white stone in the Georgian tradition. Above the threestorey centre block was a pediment topped by a cupola with a clock. The two wings extending on either side were only two storeys high. On the ground floor of both wings were various shops. On either side of the main The Great Hall. Ice sculpture graces lounge outside Great Hall. entrance there were two archways, which provided passageway from the front of the building to a market area in the rear where stalls of fruits, vegetables and poultry were found. Serving as the city’s public meeting place, the hall has hosted numerous memorable events over the years.

Restored in 1967 as the City of Toronto’s centennial project, St. Lawrence Hall continues as a site for social and business functions, large and small. St. Lawrence Hall is spacious enough to handle large conferences and meetings, yet intimate enough to hold a small gathering. Today the Hall is the facility of choice for the film industry, serving as a staging ground for TV series, movie sets and music videos. The East Room on the third floor features a historical display featuring various personalities who have performed, lectured or visited the St. Lawrence Hall over its 150-year history, including twenty images and bios ranging from William Lyon Mackenzie to Frederick Douglass to P.T. Barnum. Breakfast - The Nineteenth Floor at the Fairmont Royal York The Fairmont Royal York’s latest business additions — The Nineteenth Floor Executive Meeting Rooms — are among the most exclusive and private meeting facilities in Toronto.

In October 1997 a $4.5 million corporate makeover included a new reception area and lounge with a fireplace that overlooks the Toronto waterfront, along with the addition of a private concierge to handle all guest needs.

Victoria Bailliage Visits the Cowichan Water Buffalo Dairy Beverley Watkins – Vice-Chargée de Presse, Victoria Have you ever seen big, black Bulgarian Murrah water buffaloes up close? Watched them drink and spray from a cast iron bathtub? Or graze in a beautiful North American pasture? If you have, then you have been to Fairburn Farm in the Cowichan Valley on Vancouver Island, the site of the only water buffalo dairy in North America! Darrel and Anthea Archer, the farm’s owners, and operators of the Cowichan Water Buffalo Dairy, imported Canada’s first herd of water buffalo in 2000. The initial herd was born in Bulgaria, quarantined in Denmark and airlifted by Lufthansa to Vancouver. When they arrived here, the herd was quarantined because Denmark had experienced an outbreak of Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE). People forgot that the BSE in Denmark was in a dairy cow; that water buffaloes had never contracted this disease and are genetically free of it. The Archers fought the case in court and won, but the Americans put pressure on Canada and had the herd destroyed. At the entranceway to the farm, there is a plaque in memory of these animals. The present herd was born in Canada on the dairy farm, the offspring of the former animals. It is the only purebred river buffalo herd in North America and consists of one bull and forty cows — healthy, magnificent animals. We were surprised to see the bull at pasture with the cows. Archer laughingly said that the bulls are called “tueys” and are usually gentle, happy creatures, but that their bull should wear a nose ring and a leather jacket and be called “Bond” or “License to Kill” because he is very ornery! As they have a longer digestive tract and more digestive juices than cattle and metabolize their food more effectively, the cows will not touch, and do not need, high protein commercial Jerry Yip and Ruby Littlepage become familiar with the buffalo. feed. The Archers give them maple leaves, grass, clover and straw. They never use any genetically modified materials. The objective is to keep the buffalo cows relaxed and happy or they will not produce milk. Water buffalo should not be confused with bison (which are commonly and erroneously called “buffalo”). Unlike bison, which are ostensibly wild animals, water buffalo are highly domesticated. There are two species of buffalo: the African Buffalo (Syncerus) is wild and the Asian Buffalo (Bubalus) is mostly domesticated (Bubalus bubalis). Within the Asian Buffalo genus there are two distinct types — Swamp and River buffalo. River Buffalo tend to be found in countries where milk plays an important role in the human diet (i.e., from India through Pakistan into the Middle East, around the Caucasus and into the Balkans). They serve three purposes: milk production, meat production and draught power. Weighing up to 800 kg, they are black in colour, with white tail tips and occasionally a white star on the forehead. Their horns are more tightly curved and the head is carried higher than the Swamp Buffalo. It is capable of breeding throughout the year and having a calf every year. This calf is carried for ten months. Each buffalo produces about eight litres of milk a day, which is white, creamy in texture, naturally homoge- nized and high in butterfat. Water buffalo milk contains 40% more protein and 58% more calcium than cow’s milk, and 43% less cholesterol than ordinary milk. It is a totally natural product with no additives, preservatives or colouring. The Archers have permits for milking and will shortly begin production of milk, yoghurt and cheese, including buffalo mozzarella and curd. Down the line they may even make ice cream and Asian specialties such as khoa and makhan. Buffalo meat is indistinguishable in flavour from beef, and has less than half (44%) of the total fat content of lean beef. Some call it “red meat with a green attitude”! The host for our delightful meal was the co-owner of Fairburn Farm, Mara Jernigan, who initiated the “Feast of Fields” on Vancouver Island, accompanied by chefs Peter Zambri of “Zambris” in Victoria, Ross Fraser and Philip Heilborn from Eigennsinn Farm in Ontario and apprentice Julian Obererlacher.

Participation by so many is what made it work so well. As usual, the culinary talents of the Shaughnessy Golf and Country Club’s chef and its brigade were outstanding. Our own wine expert and guardian of our wine cellar, Mr. Bob Charlton, chose excellent wines for the evening. Many happy Vancouver Chaîne members brought back home with them the fruits of their successful biddings. Visit www.chainerotisseurs.org for interesting information about the Chaîne locally, nationally and internationally 8 Domaine de Chaberton June 25, 2006 Langley, BC Our special tour and dinner at Domaine de Chaberton, a winery in Langley, proved very interesting. Chef Frederick Despeins created some very tasty dishes, which complemented the wines served. The founder of the winery, Mr. Claude Violet, and the new owner, Mr. Eugene Kwan, partook in this memorable dinner in the winery’s own restaurant, The Bacchus Bistro. 9 Professional Spotlight Alain Pignard, Executive Chef A Man With Endless Inspiration Chef Alain Pignard. Editor’s Note: With this issue of La Chaîne in Canada, we will begin a new column profiling our professional members. Originally from Lyon in France, Chef Alain Pignard, Chef Rôtisseur, has plied his trade in some of the finest kitchens around the world: Hotel des Ambassadeurs in Paris; the famous Hotel Dorchester in London where he worked under the celebrated Chef Anton Mossiman; and the Cavalieri Hilton in Rome where he was Chef Saucier of the internationally acclaimed restaurant, La Pergola. Appointed Executive Chef of Fairmont The Queen Elizabeth in January 1999, Alain has been a part of the Fairmont team for twelve years, successively assuming the responsibilities of Chef Saucier for the Beaver Club, Chef for Le Montréalais, Sous-Chef of the main kitchens, as well as working closely with John Cordeaux as his Executive Sous-Chef. Approximately ninety employees are regularly at work in the kitchens of the 1,039-room hotel, with its three restaurants (Le Montrealais, Les Voyageurs and the legendary Beaver Club), its thirtythree function rooms and its kosher kitchen. Through its successful outside catering division, Fairmont The Queen Elizabeth handles highly visible social events, under Chef Pignard’s supervision. Over 100,000 meals are served outside the hotel annually for groups such as the Canadian Center for Architecture, the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, the Montreal Symphony Orchestra and VIP racing fans at the Formula One Grand Prix of Canada — not a small challenge! Through his classical training, worldly travels and experience working under the tutelage of the masters, Chef Pignard has amassed a vast and varied background, which today allows him to showcase his talent and offer his guests the creations of his inexhaustible imagination and passion. Highlighting Canadian produce throughout his work, Chef Pignard explains, “I feel the Chef of Fairmont The Queen Elizabeth has a great responsibility to promote the high-quality products of Quebec, and particularly those produced by the small specialized farmers.” With his solid professional background, his out-of-theordinary culinary talent and his readiness to meet every challenge with enthusiasm, Alain has rapidly joined the ranks of the grand chefs who have preceded him at the helm of the kitchens of Fairmont The Queen Elizabeth and has assumed a leadership role on the Montreal gastronomy scene. The new century started very well for Alain when was given the opportunity to cook for Chef Paul Bocuse, unanimously recognized as the chef of the century, at an event for the launch of the Montreal High Lights Festival. “Paul Bocuse inspired today’s cuisine,” 10 On-site at the Fairmont The Queen Elizabeth. Chef Pignard in action at the Formula One Grand Prix of Canada. Chef Pignard says. “It was an honor to cook for the most respected and best-known chef in the world, and few chefs are given such an opportunity in their careers.” Pignard was also chosen by La Maison de la France to create a gourmet dinner for the “Bourses France 2000” event with world-renowned Chef Alain Ducasse. In subsequent Festivals, Chef Pignard was honored to have the opportunity to work with the well-known Chef Georges Blanc for the gala dinner (2004) and with Celebrity Canadian Chef Susur Lee from Toronto in 2005. In 2006, he is delighted to welcome Chef Emile Jung from Alsace for the Festival. In 2003, 2004 and 2005, Chef Pignard was named Chef of the Year for Montréal by the Société des Chefs, Cuisiniers et Pâtissiers du Québec. In 2005, he was awarded the national title of Top Québec Chef by the Société. Those rare moments spent outside the kitchens of the hotel are reserved to visit other chefs and, during his vacation, he is irresistibly drawn to the grand tables of the countries he visits, bringing home with him the flavours and aromas that are of such great inspiration to him.

The dinner was orchestrated by Executive Chef Tahir Salamat. Chef Tahir, the corporate chef for the RCR Hospitality Group, showcased his diverse talents in culinary art with a cutting edge Asian influence and a traditional French menu. On May 20, 2006, Chef Michael Howell, Maître Rôtisseur, of Tempest Restaurant in Wolfville, hosted our black-tie dinner. Michael, a fellow Chaîne member, was recently referred to as one of “Canada’s Superstar Chefs” in an article by WISH magazine, and is currently the food editor of the Lifestyle Nova Scotia magazine. Once again, he outdid himself and offered attendees another dining experience to cherish and remember. This has become an annual event and all seats were sold out! able! The menu composition was unlike any of the menus we have ever had. In each of the themes, many different dishes were created to challenge and expose our palates to different and varied levels of taste. For example, in the theme of “Cooking without Heat,” an array of fresh fish, thinly sliced, was arranged over one hundred pounds of rock salt from the Himalayas, then quickly torched, and served alongside were more than a dozen sauces (see photo). In the theme “meadow,” the course consisted of several lamb dishes made from different parts of the lamb (see photo), which were created to provide varying tastes, textures and presentations, using only lamb as the main ingredient. All the dishes in each of the themes were presented in a similar fashion. What a spectacular experience it was!

In Memoriam It is with deep sadness that we announce the death of Robert Reford, a fellow Chaîne member and Commandeur. He was an internationally known journalist, former intelligence officer, former president of the United Nations Association Robert Reford on his 85th birthday, May 1, 2006. in Canada and a member of a Quebec shipping and gardening family (i.e., the Reford Gardens). He died on May 9, a week after celebrating his 85th birthday. He is survived by his second wife of thirty-four years, Stephanie McCandless Reford, two daughters, grandsons, nieces and nephews. Robert had been very active in our Bailliage and was the editor of our provincial newsletter until five years ago. He will be missed terribly. 15 La Chaîne – Coast to Coast – Coast to Coast – Coast Bailliage du Quebec (Montreal) Bailliage de l’Outaouais (Ottawa) The Regional Concours des Jeunes Commis Rôtisseurs, Bailliage de Montreal, was held at College Lasalle on Wednesday, June 14, 2006.

Nestled in the middle of their manicured vineyards, the Bosc Family have built a magnificently designed Loire-style chateau to house the offices, operations, wine shop and visitor centre for their Chateau des Charmes winery. The Toronto Bailliage was pleased to enjoy the hospitality of the Boscs (founder Paul Bosc’s wife, Andrée; his son, Paul-André; and his daughter-in-law, Michèle) and guest Chef Stephen Treadwell for a celebration of Niagara wines and cuisine on Friday, July 28. The wines presented were a selection of Chateau des Charmes “special event wines” — “refined wines collected over the years and offered only to discerning connoisseurs.” As the guests arrived, they were ushered to the chateau’s courtyard overlooking the rose gardens and vineyards. There they were served champagne, hors d’oeuvres and canapés while they admired the view and the magnificent table lodged under a huge striped canopy. Seated promptly at 7:15 pm., the evening began with an amuse-bouche of ricotta and apricot accompanied by the non-vintage brut sparkling wine. Each course and the perfectly matched wine was expertly and completely explained as it was served by Chef Stephen’s son James Treadwell, sommelier at the family’s Treadwell Farm to Table Cuisine Restaurant, and Paul-André Bosc. The salad course of roasted local beets with smoked ricotta, hazelnuts and saffron vinaigrette was perfectly matched with the 2004 Chardonnay Musque. This was followed by panseared Lake Erie pickerel with wild watercress, buttered chanterelles and white asparagus foam with a 2005 Sauvignon Blanc. At this point, the canopy became invaluable as a mercifully brief, yet torrential, downpour swept through the area. The staff didn’t miss a beat as the next course of fennel pollen-crusted Cumbrae Farms lamb rack (with grain dauphinoise, Wyndym’s summer vegetables and preserved lemon shallot pan juices) arrived, ferried across the small open space between kitchen and canopy under the protection of a well-placed umbrella. The lamb was beautifully matched with two wines — the 2002 Equueleus, Chateau des Charmes’ flagship red, as well as the 1995 Cabernet, served out of a six-litre imperial bottle. The cheese course was a wonderful selection of artisan cheeses served with pecan raisin bread, accompanied by the previous red wines. The superb evening was capped by a local blueberry tart and sheep milk sorbet, served with the 2002 Paul Bosc Estate Riesling Icewine. Chef Stephen Treadwell was able to join the group at the end, adding his comments to those of his son James and Paul-André. John Cordeaux, Vice-Conseiller Culinaire and Director of Food and Beverage of the Fairmont Royal York Hotel, delivered the accolade, eloquently complimenting and thanking Chef Treadwell and his brigade, the staff 17 Bailliage de Toronto continued from Chateau des Charmes, James Treadwell and, of course, the Bosc family. The story of Château des Charmes begins six generations ago with a family that traces its roots to the Alsace region of France and the vineyards of French Algeria. This tradition of excellence continues today in the vineyards of Niagara-on-the-Lake where Paul Bosc and his family carry on this rich heritage of meticulous vinification by harmonizing science and art. A graduate of one of Europe’s finest winemaking schools, the University of Burgundy at Dijon, Paul Bosc came to Canada from France in the 1960s. He brought the old-world tradition of winemaking to his new home and he grafted that knowledge and tradition to the soils of Niagara, becoming the first to plant a wholly vinifera vineyard. Château des Charmes’ vineyards are ideally positioned south of Lake Ontario and north of the Niagara Escarpment at 44 degrees latitude, allowing superb growing conditions. In fact, the Niagara Peninsula is further south than France’s famous Burgundy region where Paul Bosc was educated and trained. Today the winery’s award-winning VQA estate wines include icewine, late harvest Riesling, an impressive range of both white and red varietals as well as méthode traditionnelle sparkling wines. Chef Stephen Treadwell’s cuisine is based on a philosophy that he has been developing since immigrating to Canada from England in 1982. “Farm to Table Cuisine” is designed around seasonal dishes made with fresh ingredients from a network of local farms and producers, complemented by top quality products from around the world. “The key to great cuisine,” says Chef Treadwell, “is to interfere as little as possible with the natural attributes of the food.” His mantra is simplicity: The freshest product, the best product, simply prepared. He perfected this approach as chef de cuisine of Toronto’s famed Auberge du Pommier and later as executive chef of Queen’s Landing Inn in Niagara-on-the-Lake. James Treadwell got his sommelier certification at Algonquin College in Ottawa. He has worked as a sommelier at the Queen’s Landing Inn, as well as the Chewton Glen Hotel in Hampshire, England.

The dinner was presented with a style and an organization worthy of the genius of M. Escoffier’s greatest collaborator, César Ritz. Chef Parkinson, who had planned this dinner for many years, presented nine courses, always keeping in mind “how would Escoffier have plated this?” To Escoffier, dining was entertainment and the plating of the courses at this dinner entertained us with imagination and fantasy. Behind every course was a story described thoroughly in the menu notes. Chef Parkinson took special care to match the courses with the appropriate wines, taking great personal pleasure to be able to present two wines by Robert Allen, who was at one time Chef Parkinson’s sous-chef and now heads a very successful winery in California. The dinner begins! Paul-André Bosc (standing in foreground) explains a wine selection. Chef Stephen Treadwell outlines his philosophy. As the dinner progressed, it became obvious just how important Escoffier was to the development of haute cuisine. Elegance, simplicity and excellence of table service, and quiet and efficient competence were all Escoffier principles that were in abundance during the evening. As the evening was finally crowned with the most classic of all desserts, Peach Melba, it become clear that we had experienced a unique and great evening at the table. It was an evening that we found outstanding. Georges Auguste Escoffier would have approved.

We were honoured this year to be treated by Executive Chef Vince Parkinson, Bailli Régional Honoraire, of the Calgary Golf and Country Club, to a memorable dinner that honoured his professional hero, Georges Auguste Escoffier. The Bailliage gathered on March 12, 2006, the 160th anniversary of Escoffier’s birth, in the grand dining room of the Calgary Golf and Country (seated left to right) Therese and Beat Hegnauer, Marion Miner (standing left to right) Mark and Kerry Wilson and Mel Miner. 19 La Chaîne – Coast to Coast – Coast to Coast – Coast Bailliage de l’Alberta à Calgary continued “Bringing Home the Bacon.” “Gentle as a Lamb.” “We All Scream for Ice Cream.” “Nobody Knows the Truffles I’ve Seen.” “Like a Fish Out of Water.” (left to right) Fritz Painsi, Hayo Maier, Fong Seto and David Tetrault.

Diner Amical at the Calgary Petroleum Club Whimsical imagination and innovative cuisine were the themes of the diner amical in March, hosted by the Calgary Petroleum Club under the direction of Chef Linda Robberecht, Anna Lisonek, Maitre d’Hôtel, and Toni-Marie Jon-Brown. We were treated to a culinary fairy-tale journey, which did not just present taste but also visual composition and an exciting potpourri of flavours and textures. It was truly spectacular and exciting.

From the comfort of the dining room or luxurious suites, one has a splendid eagle’s-eye view of the surrounding Cowichan Valley and Finlayson Arm. The proprietress, Maria Schuster, Maître Hôtelier, and her staff make a point of supporting area farmers and producers, and wines from such neighbouring vineyards as Venturi-Schulze and Alderlea are available on their wine list. Maria also promotes the work of local artist Michaela Davidson at the hotel and in her advertising literature. While we always enjoy attending events at The Aerie, the black-tie dinner hosted on Sunday, April 23 was truly superb. As is our custom, we hired our “bubble bus” to take us up the mountain and our Chargé de Mission, Jack Littlepage, kept us well supplied with champagne. On arrival, we were treated to Pommery Brut and delightful appetizers of salade gourmande on small “pitchforks,” with escargots on “garden stakes” served in wooden wine box “planters.” The miniature vichyssoise was presented on Chinese soup spoon “trowels.” Canadian duck, salmon, lobster and lamb were incorporated in such classic French dishes as ballotine de canard à l’orange en miniature; saumon à l’oseille des frères trois gros; homard façon bouillabaisse; canon d’agneau belle otèro garnie foie gras, artichaud et asperges; and no French meal would be complete without truffles, provided in the form of soupe de truffe Paul Bocuse, and chocolate decadence, gateau opéra. Our special thanks for this outstanding event go to: General Manager James Kendal, Vice-Conseillier Gastronomique; Executive Chef Christophe Letard; Executive Sous-Chef Roland Monette; Chef de Partie Rhett Melnyk; and Jamie MacIver, Maître d’Hôtel. The meal was such an exceptional gourmet experience that on May 21, in recognition of the outstanding preparation, service and quality, we presented a Chaîne Cuisine and Service Award to Executive Chef Christophe Letard. As James says: “Here’s to many more great events and to continuously raising the bar!” En route on the bubble bus. Saladé Gourmande. Jack Littlepage, Chargé de Mission, and Lyle Viereck, Bailli de Victoria, present award to Executive Chef Christophe Letard, and General Manager James Kendal of the Aerie. Bailliage de Nanaimo The Nanaimo Bailliage engaged in a pair of superb dinners to open the 2006 dinner program. The Wesley Street was our February location for an excellent dinner hosted by owner Gaetan Brousseau. The cold winter evening was warmed by a Spanish cuisine influenced menu. Following tapas, our first course of clams and mussels in a saffron broth was followed by a pimiento and tuna salad Cazorla style. This was matched with Marques del Riscal Rueda 2004. The next course presented was roasted quail a la Catalan served with Castano Hecula Monastrell 2003. The main course was a filet mignon Basquaise matched with a robust Castell de Falset Montsant 2000. The dessert was a delicious orange cake a la Valencia served with Moscatel Do Douro. The dinner was a bouquet of flavours and textures and our compliments and thanks went to owner Gaetan and Chef Daniel Caron. For our spring event, we attended the annual gastronomic dinner at Malaspina University-College. This dinner is a presentation of the hospitality management students in collaboration with the culinary arts program students. The evening began with champagne and canapés in the ultramodern teaching kitchen. Highlights of the evening included a wonderfully rich trio of westcoast shellfish followed by a beet and fennel essence with manilla clams and cured sablefish topped by a horseradish crème fraiche, matched with a Riesling Grand Cru Kirchberg de Barr Willm 2003. The next offering was a rich foie gras terrine followed by a rhubarb and lemongrass sorbet. The main course was grilled rack of lamb with a wild mushroom crust, gnocchi tart and oyster mushrooms in a red wine truffle jus. Two excellent wines from the cellar were offered to us with the lamb — Chateau Haut Bages Liberal 1986 and Chateau L’Arrosee 1986. The evening was made very enjoyable by the in-depth and detailed descriptions of the food’s ingredients and methods of preparation that was given before each course. The 2006 schedule of events will again try to expose the culinary variety available on Vancouver Island. 21 Confrérie de la Chaîne des Rôtisseurs Hayo Maier, Bailli Délégué Membre Honoraire du Conseil d’Administration, Commandeur Conseil National Dr. Pierre Charbonnier, Chancelier David R.
