Feast from the Fields

Chef Mahoney was recently featured as a guest chef in the "Feast from the Fields," dinner hosted by Gourmet on the Gorge.

Joy Marr, owner of Gourmet on the Gorge, has been living in West Virginia for the past 30 years as a professional outdoors woman, a caterer, innkeeper, and culinary tour guide. She has been working and cooking in the outdoors professionally for over 25 years. Her passion, enthusiasm, and love of the active lifestyle is evident in her fun and flavorful cooking, which explores the regional cuisines of Italy, Mexico and other far reaches as well as Appalachia and traditional Southern fare ~ E.W. Massey~

The menu started with a canapé created by guest Chef Jay Mahoney; just smoked WV trout served on a bit of toast with mustard aioli and sweet onion relish, alongside was the marinated goat milk Feta from farmers Darlene and Joe. These were served with a bright Riesling and a sturdy Goat du Rhone red (yes, we mean the pun!) down by the pond just before sunset.

Chef Mahoney's students at the Pierpont C&TC Culinary Program generously donated the pancetta, made from WV pigs, that we used in the sweet-n-sour dressing.
