Let Chef Mark Ainsworth and the crew from the Holmes Camp & Retreat Center kitchen guide you through a weekend of spectacular meals, new recipes and techniques, and fun in the kitchen.
Settle in at Holmes Friday night with dinner and a campfire social. Saturday join Chef Ainsworth in the kitchen to explore low-stress nutritious recipes that don’t compromise on taste. We’ll explore a variety of techniques and recipes to help manage the stress of meals around the holidays with easy meals for home, or deceptively simple yet impressive dishes for entertaining. Through these recipes we will focus on nutrition, upscaling pre-made ingredients, and of course spectacular flavor.
The weekend wraps up with Sunday brunch that we prepare together and the chance to join in an ecumenical worship service focusing on themes of food and hunger.
Contact Holmes@holmescamp.org with questions about registration or lodging. Weekend program, lodging and meals are $499 for an individual/$749 for a couple (shared room.)
