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 spa. There are absolutely no additives, canned or shelved ingredients used in any of the dishes.
