2009 fresh michigan chestnut season has begun


 Chestnut groves can once again be found throughout the Midwest. Chestnut Growers Inc.(CGI) www.chestnutgrowersinc.com/ is a chestnut growers cooperative of Michigan chestnut farmers who grow, harvest, process and peel their own chestnuts.American-grown chestnuts are a little smaller in size than their European family  members but much fresher and sweeter in flavor.
on our recent fall menu at  Cathouse  we added a roasted young chicken with chanterelle mushrooms, smoked bacon and roasted michigan chestnut tart. we are serving the chestnusts in two preperations. roasted
and cooked sous vide, and also in a puree with sweet confit of garlic. you dont want to miss this.. for recipes contact me at :brian@innovativechefs.com
