#991118: James Beard Housel Echo Valley Resort

First airing: Wednesday ₂₄th November 1999

 When you get a dinner invitation to the James Beard House, it's a considerable coup. It also means you're cooking dinner! The 12-year old James Beard Foundation takes its name from the celebrated chef and food personality; it's a culinary center for chefs, media and just plain food and wine enthusiasts. Many of the great names have hosted dinners here: Wolfgang Puck, Jacques Pepin, Charlie Trotter, even ol' Emeril.

 

Add Kim Madsen's name to the burgeoning list. Madsen's next up: December 14th, only a couple of weeks away. The chef holds forth at Echo Vallev Ranch Resort, at Clinton, BC---not only cooking great meals but raising beef, turkey, rabbit, pork, chickens, vegetables and fruit and herbs---plus sourcing seasonal berries, wild mushrooms and lots more. You can visit the Ranch year round and sample chef Madsen's cuisine, in a wildlife safari setting or a soon-to-be-in-place Pamper Time spa program.

 

Kim Madsen has created a special all-BC menu focusing on the Cariboo traditions and will be bringing along plenty of Ranch produce to wow 'em with in New York City. Well done, and lots of luck. Check out Echo Valley's other offering, culinary or more energetic, on the web at www.evranch.com. With the best of Vancouver Flavors for 600AM, I'm JRG---cheers.
