The moment Scrooge’s hand was on the lock, a strange voice called him by his name and bade him enter. He obeyed.
It was his own room. There was no doubt about that. But it had undergone a surprising transformation…Heaped up on the floor, to form a kind of throne, were turkeys, geese, game, poultry, brawn, great joints of meat, sucking-pigs, long wreaths of sausages, mince-pies, plum-puddings, barrels of oysters, red-hot chestnuts, cherry-cheeked apples, juicy oranges, luscious pears, immense twelfth-cakes, and seething bowls of punch, that made the chamber dim with their delicious steam…..Charles Dickens, A Christmas Carol
Don’t be a Scrooge this holiday season — get festive and join Chef Joe for his annual celebratory feast featuring foods from Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol! We will start with oyster stew with root vegetables, salad of goose rillettes with chestnuts, roast suckling pig porchetta with a cranberry and orange sauce, and finish with Stilton cheese with dried fruits and nuts with a glass of Tawny port.
Complimentary bubbles will be served. This is a BYOB event so bring your best holiday wines with you!
Chef Joseph Cizynski
Born in New York, Joseph Cizynski almost immediately started gaining kitchen experience thanks to his mother and Aunt Dorothy who shared their passion and knowledge of food with him. Joseph attended Fairfield University where he played baseball and for two summers played in the Cape League, thus beginning his love for Cape Cod. Upon graduation from college, and a ball related injury, Joseph took to the Culinary Institute of America where at the age of 26, became Chef/Owner of Café du Bec Fin located in Old Greenwich, CT. Joseph immediately transformed it into a French Seafood restaurant and received three-3 Star reviews from the New York Times and was the first Connecticut restaurateur to receive the Wine Spectator Award of Excellence for ten consecutive years. Café du Bec Fin was the venue for numerous wine tasting dinners including the members of the Mondavi, Krug, and Dujac families. Several years ago, Joseph, opened a boutique wine shop located in Westchester County and has shared his knowledge of wine and food pairings hosting numerous wine tastings, dinners, and various other events. He looks forward to sharing his experiences, food, and wines with you!
