The Wickaninnish Inn

GUEST CHEF SERIES AT THE WICKANINNISH INN

July 12, 2005

Since November 2003, Chef de Cuisine, Andrew Springett, has been at the helm in The Wickaninnish Inn's renowned Pointe Restaurant.  Chef's innovative and creative approach in presenting a range of West Coast delicacies has been a wonderful addition to the "Wick" during the last 2 years.

Throughout his career, Chef Springett has worked with a long list of Canada's culinary elite. Chef feels that one key to his success has been his involvement with the best Chefs in the world through out his career.  "If you continually work with professionals and perfectionists, you learn to accept nothing less from yourself."

Andrew continues this collaborative spirit by inviting some of the North America's best chefs into his kitchen.  During the fall and winter of 2005/6, Chef Springett has set up three joint Guest Chef Dinners for the diners of the Pointe Restaurant at the Wickaninnish Inn. The dates, chefs and wineries participating in each event are as follows:
