Friday was our first Caves, Keyholes, and Culinary Exploration and we’re still smiling from it!
We kicked off the morning with the rising sun and steaming bowls of hot cereal topped with fruit compote, yogurt, and granola, plus hot drinks to warm us up. Then we hit the beach to explore a section of coastline that’s only accessible during the lowest tides of the year.
There were tidepools full of life, ochre stars so huge we nicknamed them “ogre stars", an octopus, blooming wildflowers, and fantastic weather.
After the hike, chef and farmer John Kopshever made us a beautiful, multiple-course, French-inspired meal using ingredients from his ranch while we all soaked in the beauty of Tomales Point.
Merguez sliders, cod cakes, local greens with egg and asparagus, magret de cannard (duck breast), creamy potatoes with pumpkin, confit de o’ignon, apple sauce, Brickmaiden bread, and topped off with an olive oil orange cake! It was one of the best meals we’ve ever had outside...so good, we forgot to take a photo before every bite was gone!
Want in next time? Stay tuned for fall dates.
