Cuisine

River FoodWe at Zephyr take great pride in the food that we serve our clients on our river trips. Purchased with care, cooked with skill, and served with style, we guarantee that you will be impressed. And talk about ambiance!!! What better setting for eating than a soft rock in the morning's sun overlooking a crystal clear Sierra Nevada river.

From boneless chicken breasts, succulent Tri-tips, Caesar salads, salmon fillets, Bulgar pilaf with fresh sautéed pine nuts, sautéed asparagus and yellow squash, lemon poppyseed cake covered with fresh berries and whipped cream (baked before your eyes in dutch ovens), mango salsa garnish, french toast with fresh bits of orange, omelets, potatoes, fresh fruits and vegetables, deli lunches featuring fresh turkey, roast beef, pastrami, 3 cheeses, fresh pineapple, cookies, nuts, taco salads; afternoon hors d'oerves including pizzettas, smoked salmon spread, sliced watermelon, chips and salsa, and more. Have we said enough??

The food was fantastic...your cook, Kathleen, even prepared a cake with raspberries! What Kathleen can do in the campground kitchen is nothing short of magic

Our dinner wine (including both red and white table wines) is from the Stevenot Winery located in Murphys, California. The Stevenot Winery is widely recognized as one of the finest in the entire Mother Lode area. Other beverages are available, including cold beer, soda, coffee, tea, hot chocolate, cold juices, and good old ice water.

Our Kings River Camp boasts a complete outdoor kitchen operated by our chef/food buyer.. Our food reputation on the Kings resulted in front page articles in both the Fresno and Modesto Bee’s food sections in 1996.

...and finally, the food was bountiful and very tasty; we still can’t believe that cake Julie made Tuesday night. What a multi-talented group you have!
Greg and Cheryl Mesler, Yosemite Special

On rivers without the luxury of a permanent camp kitchen (Tuolumne, Merced), the food is just about as great. We carry all the pots and pans in the rafts with us (along with the food of course), and the result at mealtime is always impressive and tasty. So join us, enjoy a gourmet feast in the rugged outdoors!
