We know that some might say that Christmas Simplicity is an oxymoron but around here it is the perfect fit. 

Take for instance Christmas Eve - nothing crazy just the cool stylings of Chef Ito and the amazing service team to  deliver the most tasteful evening yet.  Sip on the perfect glass of bubble, savour the flavours of the holiday season and soak in the peace and twinkle of our beautifully lit harbour.

And then there’s our annual Inn at Laurel Point Christmas Day Brunch - famous for many local Victorian families and travellers alike.  Leave the cooking and the cleaning to us .  Just be there and relax, let your shoulders drop and embrace the day sharing it with all the most important people in your life.

See it is possible …Christmas Simplicity…what are your plans?

“We’re thrilled to welcome April to the AURA team,” said Ian Powell, managing director of the Inn at Laurel Point. “2011 has cooked up a lot of great things for us here at the Inn and the arrival of April is truly the icing on the cake. I think we are all excited to see some of the delicious creations she’s going to bring to the table.”

Previously, Iverson worked at Le Macaron, Crave Kitchen Wine + Bar, the Radisson Plaza Hotel Saskatchewan and KOKO Patisserie. Iverson was also one of a culinary team of eight who prepared desserts for Prince William and Kate Middleton’s post-wedding visit to Calgary earlier this summer (the royals requested that the reception food was prepared by SAIT students – and although Iverson had already graduated, her instructors, chef Victoria German and chef Ian Bergoli, asked that she return for this occasion).

True to the Inn at Laurel Point motto of “staying different,” having an in-house pastry chef is unusual in these days of trimmed down kitchens and hotel industry outsourcing. The culinary philosophy at AURA is to feature dishes using fresh, local ingredients, as opposed to food from afar. Examples of AURA’s homegrown philosophy include using Vancouver Island-raised beef; river and stream-caught wild salmon; locally-tended produce; and fresh herbs grown in the hotel’s gardens.

So don’t wait, come on down to our place and check out April’s creativity first hand!
