Last blast of summer splash
STRATFORD - As summer's days wind
down and notions of heading back to
school and regular work schedules start
weaving their way back into our thoughts,
now is the time to enjoy one last blast of
summer splash with friends and family.
"With fresh produce at its peak and gro-
cery stores and local farmer's markets
shelves overflowing with the tastes of
summer sunshine, now is the day to grab
your friends and family and prepare a
feast to celebrate summer at its best,"
says Chef Neil Baxter, Master of Cuisine at
the famed Stratford Chefs School in
Stratford, Ontario. He offers these tips for
pulling together a fast and easy get-
together.
• Look for the freshest local produce and
you'll be sure to serve up plates of sum-
mer flavour. Peppers, onions, mushrooms,
eggplant, zucchini, sweet potatoes and
baby squashes are all at their summer
peaks and are great served fresh or grilled
with a light oil and vinegar dressing driz-
zled across them.
• Everyone's summer favourite, corn on
the cob, is ripe and ready to serve. Cold
salads and hot corn from the barbeque
make a great tasting and easy summer
dinner.
• Look for light, crisp and
refreshing wines to pair with the
flavours of summer. Chateau la
Tour de L'eveque from Cotes du
Provence, France recently intro-
duced a new Rose perfect for
pairing with summer tastes
according to Chef Neil. Oyster

Zealand offers the zesty taste of crisp
fruit, a perfect match for a grilled fish.
• Pinot Noirs and Gamay Noirs are great
red wines that pair nicely with the lighter
tastes of summer foods. The wine connois-
seurs at the Stratford Chefs School recom-
mends chilling them for 15-20 minutes to
bring out the fresh fruit flavours, perfect
for savouring summer's last sunny days.
• New potatoes are the perfect side dish
to accompany any summer meal. No peel-
ing equals no mess and easy preparation.
Dress the potatoes in a fully flavored
vinaigrette with some freshly cut herbs
and sauteed bacon for a more decadent
dish.
• Easy, breezy desserts like strawberry
shortcake, lemon custard tarts and roast-
ed peaches with vanilla ice cream are easy
to make ahead and whip together at the
last minute.
More cooking tips and a glimpse of life
as a chef at the Stratford Chefs School can
be had this October when the Stratford
Chefs School will be featured in the 12 -
week reality TV show Chefs School, airing
on the Food Network. Visit www.stratford-
