I have had the second opportunity to eat the amazing cuisine of Chef Zach Keeshig.
Chef Zach forages from the land to make progressive Aboriginal cuisine.
Using the Owen Sound Farmers Market venue, the evening is peaceful near the Sydenham river and park.
The first courses were cooked on the barbecue outside.
Served uniquely on anything but boring white plates, the food was delicious.
He paired each dish with a drink. I loved the Cedar Tea which was available throughout the meal. The menu did not include a description of each course as Chef Zach explained each one after we were served.
Although the first course this sour dough bread with a topping was a good start.
My daughter Sonya takes better food pictures than I do. So visiting her House of Kerrs Instagram, Facebook and Blog pages will give you another perspective.
Chef Zach uses local producers of food and supports the pottery and ceramic artists in the area.
He belongs to the Indigenous Tourism Ontario initiative.
For me experiencing the ambiance of a country setting in small town Ontario was enriching.
Chef Zach entwines food stories with the dishes. He uses variations of the food his mother prepared into his cuisine.
After the tasting Sonya and I had the opportunity to chat and catch up on all that has been happening since we saw him two years ago.
It was exciting to learn that a feature was written on his Aboriginal cooking by Suresh Doss in the Toronto Star Thursday June 16, 2022. Easy to find online and read if interested.
Chef Zach's information can be found in a variety of ways.
Click on this link to his webpage.
He is on Facebook- Naagan by Zach Keeshig and Instagram- Chef Zach Keeshig. Check him out for a better description of all his dishes.
I hope that another two years does not go by before I have another opportunity to have a food tasting.
What does Naagan mean? Well check out Chef Zach's information and discover for yourself.
