Fairmont Hotels
A couple of winters ago, while visiting Quebec City for Winter Carnival, I have the opportunity to spend some time with Jean Soulard, Head Chef of the Fairmont Chateau Frontenac. Our discussions ranged from slow cooking to sustainable farming practices to locally-grown produce to the problems of sourcing locally-baked breads and pastries. He promised me a tour of his rooftop herb garden should I return.
