A bit late…

But here is an intermezzo we featured a few times in the spring – cherry blossom sorbet!

New Year’s Eve at the Inn at Langley

diane — Tue, 19 Jan 2010 10:11:32 +0000

What a New Year’s Eve we had this year! It’s a bit late, but I wanted to share a couple details with you – while every night at the Inn is enjoyable, we have a lot of fun putting on “parties,” so to speak, and this New Year’s Eve was no exception!

Firstly, all of us servers stayed up the night before putting together some special decorations for the guests… think those hats are easy to make? Think again!

But everyone looked fantastic in them. Hats, noisemakers, confetti, special decorations – we hoped those of you who attended enjoyed it!

But enough on the decorations… as usual, Matt’s fantastic food was the highlight of the evening. A special element he’s been working on lately is incorporating liquid nitrogen and other molecular gastronomy into our desserts. A quick frozen chocolate mousse – with a touch of cardamom for some delightful kick, of course – is my favorite. Not to mention the process is a fascinating spectacle to watch…

But my favorite part of New Year’s Eve (and sadly, as I was running about pouring wine and clearing plates, I didn’t get a chance to take a photograph) – a live band! Swingy, out of Mountlake Terrace, was kind enough to serenade our guests with delightful jazz and swing covers throughout the evening. Not to mention, those gentlemen looked rather dapper themselves. We might be bringing them back for some more events soon… so keep your eyes peeled for announcements!

That’s a quick breeze through of New Year’s at the Inn – we hope you all had a fantastic New Years, and we look forward to seeing you soon – whether for a basic romantic getaway, or all-out festive event!

a work in progress!

Some new things are coming to the Inn at Langley blog… stay tuned! And we’d love to hear from you – anything you’d like to see on here?

FareStart

FareStart is a wonderful program that the Inn is privileged to be involved with. Providing culinary job training to disadvantaged individuals in the Seattle area, one of the notable programs is their “Guest Chef Night.” Put on by volunteering area chefs, these events provide the students with opportunities to work with some of Seattle’s premier chefs, as well as a wonderful opportunity for the community to support FareStart – and get a 3-course meal at the same time! The Inn is excitedly preparing for our dinner later this month… take a look at their website for more information!

Autumn has Arrived!

I love autumn at the Inn at Langley…. the crisp air, the delicious new bounty of food for our dinners, the way the candles sparkle at night against the dreary outdoors – lovely! Not to mention, our gardens are bursting with color. Take a look at the Cottage Garden:

Matt on Moore to Life

Chef Matt was recently featured on the new show Moore to Life with Kelley Moore. Take a look and learn how to make his delicious brown butter scallops!

A Tour of the Saratoga Suite

diane — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 08:05:28 +0000

One of our two master suites, the Saratoga boasts 1500 square feet and an 180-degree view of the Saratoga Passage. About half a block away from the rest of the Inn, this is the perfect place for a secluded romantic getaway or restful and recharging weekend. Take a look at what there is to enjoy:

Fully stocked kitchen, bamboo floors throughout…

The informal living and dining area, including a fireplace, which opens out onto…

a large private deck with a breathtaking view of the Saratoga Passage!

There is a separate bedroom – rest your eyes on a king bed with European down-filled duvet.

And the views aren’t for the living area only… the oversized whirl-bath jetted tub includes two private windows that look right out to the water.

Just for novelty’s sake…

Got the amazing chance to take a float plane ride from Lake Union to Langley a couple weeks ago… and got this shot of the Inn!
