Recipes to enjoy under an open sky.

Fresh from the Okanagan valley comes Menus from an Orchard Table , a collection of recipes from four seasons of Joie's renowned Outdoor Orchard Dinners and Cooking School menus. Joie's classes  were sell-outs and people came from far and wide to sit at a table in the orchard. The menus and essays in the book reveal the “birth” of this new wine country cuisine in the Okanagan and allow the reader to recreate some of the flavors of this emerging wine country.

With a literal lay of the land, Heidi introduces local producers and showcases their products in her menus. The recipes are divided into the courses of Joie's typical orchard dinners and aim to reveal the harmony between the regional wines and the dishes created for them.

Menus from an Orchard Table will transport readers to the former site of Joie's magical outdoor dining table set under the stars, amongst the trees. Take a look inside Menus from an Orchard Table
