I think it turned out pretty well.”   Chef Picard, like all the competing chefs, was given 45 minutes to create plates for three judges using his black box of Taste of Nova Scotia ingredients. Picard’s mystery items included pork tenderloin from Meadowbrook Meat Market, Sonya apples from Scotian Gold, quark from Fox Hill Cheese House and honey from Cornect Family Farm.   Working with his volunteer sous-chef from the audience, Picard’s final creation was Honey Pork Tenderloin with Apple-Fennel Slaw, Greens, Quark Cheese Vinaigrette and Red Wine Onion Confit.   This will be Picard’s first season at Chanterelle Country Inn. After several years working in Montreal, he recently moved to Cape Breton Island to fulfill his...
