Cooking up a Storm at Boreas Inn
“We cannot find words to adequately describe the culinary experience at your Inn, but we can say we never could have expected anything as artful and sumptuous as the feasts you craft in your kitchen” Justin Cottrell
Boreas Inn is featured in the “Best Places to Kiss in the Northwest Cookbook”! Look for Susie’s Cranberry-Raspberry Fruit Soup Recipe!
Boreas’ multi-course morning feasts are indeed a culinary treat and a joyful reason to get out of bed each morning. We are “locavores” and believe in “dining at the source” and the Long Beach is the source! Imaginative and delicious food is a priority at Boreas B&B. Bill’s egg entrees highlight our local chanterelle, lobster, hedgehog, oyster & porcini mushrooms. We serve over 20 varieties of local, wild mushrooms each year, gathered lovingly by professional forager, Veronica Williams. Boreas features local Smoked salmon , sturgeon and albacore caught by local fishermen from the Pacific and oysters from local Willapa and Shoalwater Bays. The homefries are seasoned with herbs from our garden.
Boreas pancake, baked french toast and waffle entree’s are unusual and sumptuous. Ingredients may include triple ginger with pumpkin, fresh blueberries with cornmeal and fresh lemon chiffon with raspberries. The sauces accompanying these entrees are always clever and delicious. Susie likes to play in the kitchen dreaming up sauces. The French Toast is like a souffle and doused with Grand Marnier and almonds. Anticipation of the morning brunch is half the fun when you stay at Boreas!
Susie’s fruit entrees, which begin the meal, are a refreshing way to start your morning. Sauteed fresh pineapple in caramel with rum whipped heavy cream and coconut might start a cool weather brunch. A simple bowl of fresh strawberries or Washington peaches with a dollop of Grand Marnier creme anglaise is a decadent delight. Guests might also be treated to a beautiful chilled four-berry fruit soup topped with folded cream and chocolate mint from the garden. Another of our favorite breakfast recipes is Washington Stuffed Pears with dried cranberries and pecans marinated with spiced rum; a tempting, fragrant treat any time of year.
Boreas Inn breads, tarts and pastries are also baked with love, using most unusual combinations of fine ingredients. Pecans, macadamia nuts and local cranberries and other regional berries, peaches, white chocolate, apricots and fresh butter are Susie’s favorite components in her recipes.
Boreas serves the freshest, smoothest organic Fair Trade coffee you have ever had. The “Boreas Blend” from Cafe Mam combines Italian, French and Espresso roast. This is coffee with a story! We also feature dozens of fine teas, hot cocoa, and lots of flavorings. The brownie platter is always filled with dark, fudgy, triple chocolate and white chocolate chip pieces of joy.
For evening dining, our local Long Beach restaurant picks include the The Depot Restaurant, Pelicano Restaurant, Nancy and Jimella’s Cafe, The Shelburne Inn Restaurant and 42nd Street Cafe. Restaurant reservations are recommended and will be gladly taken care of for you by Susie and Bill, who will pass along any partnership discounts!
