The inn also serves dinner but only on sufficient notice and
restricted to one party or small group at a time; since I
cook everything on a very low heat/gas cook top, an
unhurried process of many hours, to quicken the pace in
order to accommodate a larger scale, I believe, will
adversely affect the quality of the meal; and when I do
occasionally cater a bigger event, like a wedding or
birthday, I usually set aside several days of prior “slow
cooking” so as not to compromise on standards. Typically
these dinners consist of lamb or chicken, served with
exotic rice and lots of saffron, and with spices such as
cardamom, cinnamon and cumin. The lamb is from a farm
only 12 miles from the inn. In preparing lamb, every single
piece of fat is removed and the meat cooked with different
spices without any water added, allowing the absorption
of the rest of the ingredients in the pot while freeing the
lamb’s unique flavor. My chicken, always organic and free
range from a nearby specialty farm, is cooked in the same
way. Other dinners may feature quinoa pasta, vegetarian
dishes, or various kinds of quiche and a very particular
fish dish.
All the ingredients are organic, natural and local .. if not local to Maine then they are indigenous to their origin. Everything is made from scratch, even the tomato paste by Shadi Towfighi, the owner and innkeepr of Kismet Inn bed and breakfast. There are absolutely no additives, canned or shelved ingredients used in any of the dishes.
