At the Inn, we pride ourselves in having a large vegetable garden which provides our restaurant with many of its fresh offerings  throughout the summer and fall. Our gardener extraordinaire, Kellie, takes great care in planting the garden each year, and this year we are offering you an opportunity to learn from her!

On garden 1Tuesday, May 21, at 10:00 a.m., join Kellie in the garden and help to prepare and plant all of the vegetables for the Inn. In return for your hard work, we’ll provide you with a delicious lunch made by Chef Anthony.

Planting with Kellie is a free event and is, of course, weather permitting (though Kellie has been known to work in a light rain).

Join us in the Hocking Hills where spring is in the air and it’s planting season! All are welcome, Enjoy!

“Chef for a Day” immerses guests in culinary experience

February 18th, 2013 by Innkeeper, Inn & Spa At Cedar Falls

After our “Innkeeper for an Afternoon” offering was a sellout last year, we’ve just added a new “Chef for a Day” program, launched to allow you to try your hand running the Inn kitchen.

Chef Anthony Schulz

Led by Executive Chef Anthony Schulz, you can become chef for a day, with classes taking place from 1-5 p.m. most days by advance reservation.  You’ll enjoy a private, four-hour, one-on-one cooking class, tastings and dinner, plus take home the day’s menu, a copy of an Inn & Spa at Cedar Falls cookbook and apron.

The program takes place in the Inn kitchen, where you’ll help Chef Anthony prepare evening dinner service, while you gain specialized training in everything from prepping veggies to making desserts and properly designing a menu.

Already, Chef for a Day is receiving rave reviews from early attendees like Tod and Mary Beckett of Columbus.

“It was so great that we immediately booked a cooking class with Anthony that the Inn was hosting at Hills Market in Columbus.  And we brought ten friends with us,” Mary said.

“We really did this Tod, who is a foodie, but rarely gets to cook because he works such long hours and I usually do the cooking at home,” she said. “But he just loved it.  It was so great to see him learn to separate an egg.  He had never separated an egg!  He had never made a crème brûlée.  But he learned how and did it all that day at the inn.”

Chef for a Day

Chef Anthony added that Chef for a Day is a great way to bring couples or friends together, especially if one person cooks and the other does not.

“They experience what it’s really like behind the lines.  Students learn classic technique, but in an approachable way, and they can ask questions along the way.  Then, they enjoy one of the best meals of their lives, while seeing other guests enjoy the meal that they helped prepare. It’s very gratifying for them.”

If you’d like to become Chef for a Day, just call (800) 653-2557.

Fresh and Local In The Hocking Hills

August 15th, 2012 by Innkeeper, Inn & Spa At Cedar Falls

As part of our celebration of 25 years in the Hocking Hills, and as we look to the years to come, we’ve begun a new project at the Inn!

When you visit us, you will notice a large 100×80 foot garden has been planted on the hill next to our Inn building. We are very excited that this space may begin to provide additional  produce and herbs for Chef Anthony to use for his delicious menu items.

We have always been committed to using fresh, local produce as much as possible, and this garden will give our restaurant a variety of fresh foods, which are literally right out the door.

When you dine with us in the future, look forward to vegetables like new potatoes, several varieties of tomatoes, asparagus, cucumbers, onions, various herbs, and fruits like watermelon and muskmelon, to be served from our garden.

We are still amazed by the beauty and peace of the area that we’ve called home for so long and look forward to enjoying the fruits of the soil right here at the Inn! Welcome, and Enjoy!
