Chef Shaun Edmonstone knows his way around a cast iron pan — almost as well as an apple orchard. His restaurant, Bruce Wine Bar is in apple county after all! Now you can make a taste of his place at home with this amazing Ontario veal recipe.
“Amazing wood-fired pizzas are just the beginning of what makes Bruce Wine Bar so great. They know they couldn�t serve up the best fare possible, without the support of the best local suppliers. From honey to duck to Ocean Wise trout and of course, apples — they’e serving the best of Grey & Bruce County food and hospitality. Paired with VQA wines, craft beer and ciders, it’s an evening you’re sure to remember.”
