Subject: Your Personal Chef for the Writing Retreat!

Hello! 

My name is April Chips (they/them) and I'm thrilled to be your personal chef for our upcoming writing retreat. 

Expect a weekend of nourished writing. Guests are invited to participate in wish-list sourcing, and are free to help out, participate, and join in cooking if they feel an enthusiastic call to, but if not we will make sure we are all taken care of with great meals.

This is my first weekend event doing kitchen service for several years, which i used to do professionally on occasions before the Pandemic. I’d love to start doing some more weekend events, so if you like my service, feel free to pass on my name if you or someone you know. Otherwise I am in Community College getting tech and digital media certifications and getting into blogging as an expression of writing. If you have any interest in making your website on Wordpress I am glad to consult with you for free.

April's Apple Chips

I run a seasonal business drying overstock apples into chips. I am also starting the Apple Chip Blog this year as a way to share helpful information.

 

When I'm not cooking up a storm for events like this, I run my own small business, April's Apple Chips. We specialize in hand-crafted, small-batch apple chips with unique flavor combinations (think Lavender-Earl Grey or Spicy Cayenne!). I'm inspired by seasonal flavors and healthy snacking options.

About the Menu:

I've designed a menu focused on fresh, high-quality ingredients that will both delight and energize you throughout the weekend. Here's a quick peek at what you can expect:

Meal Schedule:

  • Thursday: Welcome Dinner
  • Friday: Self-Serve Breakfast & Lunch
  • Friday Evening: Slow Cooker Dinner
  • Saturday: Self-Serve Breakfast & Lunch, Dinner
  • Sunday: Farewell Brunch
Dietary Needs & Preferences:

My goal is to ensure everyone enjoys the meals and feels taken care of. That's why I'd love it if you could let me know about any allergies, dietary restrictions, or strong preferences you might have. Please comment below so I can adjust the menu accordingly.

Supporting My Business:
