| Nova Scotia Seafood Cooking School |
Take a culinary vacation to fish school. Trout Point Lodge, owned by three foodies who authored their first cookbook
published by Random House in 2004, hosts classes in seafood and Creole cookery. Luxury accommodations, gourmet meals and hands-on
culinary instruction provide the mainstay of these three-day, two night get-aways. Visit local oyster farms, the vast Chebogue
Salt Marsh, or local fishing ports. Hike, kayak or take a hot tub after your culinary expeditions at this superb wilderness
lodge at the confluence of two rivers.
Among the most acclaimed cooking schools in North America, the Trout Point Cooking & Wine School has
just recently garnered top recommendations from: "A touch of class" Food & Travel (April, 2007)
The Trout Point Cooking School also offers the Cheeses and Cheesemaking Master Class, September 26-28, 2008.

"The classes cover many seafood basics, from how to tell whether fish and shellfish are fresh to which kitchen equipment
you’ll need for a range of cooking processes, including grilling and salt-baking. In addition, the chefs are eager to
demonstrate advanced methods—such as tea-smoking—which you’ll probably never use in your closet-size New
York kitchen but are fun to learn nonetheless. I picked up several fundamentals of Cajun cooking, like the "holy trinity"
(a mix of chopped onion, garlic and celery that’s at the heart of many recipes) and how to make different kinds of roux.
One of the most useful skills I acquired was how to properly cut an onion so that you end up with uniform pieces, rather than
giant chunks and tiny slivers.
The lodge also provides plentiful nonfood activities. It sits between the Tusket and Napier Rivers, and is equipped with
canoes and an al fresco hot tub. A substantial garden grows many of the lodge’s vegetables, and those visitors with
ambitious culinary plans for when they return home can take notes while examining the smokehouse, typically filled with hunks
of fish. And the abundant hiking trails provide opportunities for idyllic wandering between meals."
