For more than a year, I’ve been wowed by chef Amelia Telc’s dinner pop-ups at The Casino in Bodega. Her menus are tauntingly delicious, with dishes like seared squid with Calabrian chile and green garlic, pork belly and ginger wonton soup, pot au feu, and chocolate mousse with poached prunes and cream.
Her resume includes buzzy restaurants you’ve definitely heard of in New York and San Francisco, and her globally inspired cooking is driven by what she finds at farmers markets and what’s just come in at the dock.
On Thursday nights this summer, she’s cooking at the new River Electric camp resort and swim club in Guerneville (16101 Neeley Road). Her a la carte menus change weekly, but a recent dinner included chicken Provençal, mussels in white wine, crispy new potatoes and a roasted plum sundae.
Access to the private club bar is $5 after 4 p.m., with dinner served from 6:30 to 9 p.m., first come, first served. Details at instagram.com/halfhitch_tomales.
