Happy summer days everyone,

After some rescheduling and a venue change, Cairn 2026 is in the books!

It was wonderful to host this one at the Kagawong park center this year. The windows bathed our guests in natural light into the evening and offered stunning views of the serene landscape. The menu felt quite strong conceptually with many components shared between the food and the pairings along side some peak season produce.

It was also a special delight to provide non alcoholic beverages to accompany the menu pulling from my larder of floral and fruity preserves.

I’m off camping this weekend and escaping the Haweater escapades once again, but enjoy the follow up post of all the details of dishes and drinks and I’ll see you again soon.

Thank you

Hello all,

Bumps have been flattened, wrinkles have been ironed out, and the schedule is clear! Cairn 2026 is officially happening later this month.

If you had been in contact with me previously about booking a spot for this very limited space event, please check your email or reach out to me again to secure your reservation.

Full wrap up post to be dropped by end of the month to show all the details on this once a season exploratory culinary event.

Chat with you all soon again!

Best,

_Mast

Hello again dear friends,

Due to some last minute complications arising, my scheduled Cairn dinner for the 2026 season is being postponed and relocated and I am looking to engage with my regulars to see if there is a potential make up date to be had.

I would like to ask you all if you would have interest in attending a Cairn dinner at one of two dates in July, with the venue pending at this point in time. It would most likely be held in or near to Little Current but updates will be shared when available.

The potential new dates are July 10th or July 25th

To describe the event once again, it will consist of a multi course meal championing local suppliers, hyper seasonal ingredients foraged or farmed, and allow some expression of whimsy with creative platings or flavours. I will also be offering beverage pairings, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic, curated and/or crafted by me to compliment the courses through the evening.

If you would like to be placed on a reserve list, please email me at [email protected] or connect with me through any of my socials listing which of the dates you are interested in attending.

If you have any questions, please let me know and I will do my best to respond timely.

TLDR

Cairn 2026 postponed.

Make up days July 10th or July 25th??

Please share availability and interest in attending.

Location TBD

Thanks so much all,

_Mast

Hello everyone,

Just sharing that there is only a week left to book tickets to my Cairn dinner for the 2026 season.

These dinners are truly special to me and allow my full creativity in food preparations, plating, and beverage creation. Feel the whimsy, tantalize your tongue, and, I guess, enjoy yourself most importantly. ✌️💜

Set for July 4th at Ten Mile Point Resort please reach out to me through email or socials for more information. Don’t wait, ticket sales end June 19th!

Also, a reminder to my followers to check your junk folder for my previous email with details on this dinner sent through mail service mail chimp.

See you soon,

_Mast

Hello lovely ones,

I’m glad to share a brief recap of my fourth night of collaboration with Laura and Darren of **e in parry sound. We all commented on how smooth things went and felt, a true sign that we are settling in to our creation and offering something special to those brave enough to fight the mosquitos and come out.

The w**e pairings exceeded expectations and the food was absolutely glowing on the plates. I can’t wait to do it’s all again soon.

Thanks to everyone who came in and is following along.

Best,

_Mast

Hello again friends!

While it is less than one week before my exciting collaboration dinner with my good pals at **e in parry sound, it is time to set the seeds for the following big event.

I’ll be trying to utilize a mailing list through mail chimp for reservations and dinner details. I’ve sent out the first bits of information on my Cairn dinner 2026 to my existing list of people who have participated in one of my events already, but if you want to be included and make sure you have the opportunity to join the next one, please let me know your interest and your email and I’ll have you added.

For those who are a part of my inner circle already, please make sure to check your junk mail folder for an email from Mast hospitality with keyword mail chimp as it’s common to be placed in there as spam… unfortunately.

As usual, I’ll be taking lots of photos of delectable foods, scrumptious w**es, and all the guests having a roaring time for a wrap up post later next week.

All the best times to you all, and best of luck avoiding the mosquitos!

Best,

_Mast

Hello once again friends,

The details to my next event are live! I will once again be heading a bit south to visit my dear friends Laura and Darren at their stunning w**e bar **e located in Parry Sound.

We will be hosting a back to back pairing pop-up the first weekend of June with food provided by myself, and w**e pairings provided by Laura. Just over 50 seats are available and if the reception of our last event is any sign, they will go quickly! Make sure to reach out and book a seat before they are all gone.

Booking can be made through email to hello@outwithw**e.com and menu questions or concerns can be made to me at [email protected].

Very much looking forward to this one. Parry sound is beautiful, Laura’s pairings are spot on, and I may even be showing off yet another floral shirt for the occasion!
🌸👕🌻

Ps. There’s a sneak peek to my following event at the end of the pics, a true classic Manitoulin Island Cairn dinner. More details to come but if you’re interested, make sure to let me know in the comments and I’ll add you to the email list 😉

Bye for now,

_Mast

Hello all and happy official spring days to everyone!

Very happy to have participated in the first this past Saturday.

To keep it short and sweet (😉), it was a roaring success. Great people coming out and more greats running things. Food was delicious, sticky, and local. Can’t wait to do it again so mark your calendars but try not to think too much of having to get through another horrendous winter.

Big plans are coming through for some more dining events this season so if you would like to participate in the next extra agent meal championing local suppliers, seasonal food, and creative expression, please keep checking back to see all the updates.

As always, thanks to everyone and happy to be back.

Best,

_Mast.

Hello again friends,

Official details are here for the upcoming Manitoulin Maple Festival Cairn dinner.

For those who may have never attended one of my dinners, I’ll give a brief description of what you can expect from the evening.

I’ll be preparing a series of courses of thoughtfully crafted food focusing on local and seasonal when possible and containing or highlighting one of our attending maple syrup producer’s product. The food will be quite approachable for this event but may contain a surprise ingredient you may not know of very well or a flavour pairing to surprise you!

The menu descriptions are vague enough to give you an idea of what’s on offer and will include two snacks on arrival, two savory dishes, one sweet dish, and two snacks on your way out. Each guest will also be provided with two bottles of non-alcoholic seltzers to sip on through the evening, which just so happen to be sweetened with local maple syrup.

The atmosphere is joyful and relaxed. Enjoy communal seating in the cozy Kagawong park centre among your island cohorts and prepare to have a pleasant evening.

For the grittier details, allergies and dietary pretences can be accommodated within reason and with advance notice. Menu is subject to minor variances based on availability. Tickets are limited and on a first contact, first serve basis. For any and all questions or to purchase your tickets, send an email with your name and subject “Maple Cairn dinner” to [email protected] or try me on Facebook and Instagram.

These dinners are truly special to me and also deeply supportive for many of your community members. You can feel proud to participate knowing you are lifting up your friends, colleagues, and neighbours while getting to spoil yourselves on delicious handmade creations.

Look forward to hearing from you all. Much love and appreciation.

Best,

_Mast
