Kelowna, British Columbia: As Tasty As It is Beautiful

Vacay.Ca – As he presents his signature dish, Dan Carkner stands tall with his palm cupping the white plate full of colour and cleverness. It features a thick slice of country loaf topped with figs, walnuts, chanterelle mushrooms, goatās feta cheese, sherry vinegar reduction, nasturtium, and marigold. All of that packed onto a single slice of bread.
āItās a jab in the ribs to avocado on toast,ā Carkner says, grinning as he introduces āThings on Toastā, a winning appetizer that has already tickled my imagination before I learn its playful name. My tastebuds also cheer once Iāve knifed into it. Honeyesque sweetness is blended with wholesome, earthy flavours for a delectable initiation to the menu of theĀ Modest Butcher.
Carkner, the executive chef, previously cooked for politicians at the House of Commons kitchen on Parliament Hill inĀ OttawaĀ and has clearly taken to theĀ Okanagan ValleyĀ and its agricultural bounty and temperate climate.
