Kirsty was formally the head gardener, and Ben the head chef; reputations are preceding! But behind all the reviews, news articles, and blog posts, at the centre of it you have a couple who are very clear in their approach. It’s all in the name! Alberta’s Kitchen and Store; yes, it’s really that simple. They’re not a restaurant; that would requir ..read more

Eggspresso Martini I was once told by someone that people who love espresso martinis are bringing the specialty coffee into disrepute. The thing is; espresso martinis are delicious! When made with great quality and freshly poured coffee, there is no reason it cannot be enjoyed for what it is; a fun beverage that delights your tastebuds. Rumour has it the Espresso Martini was not invented that long ago, seemingly being created in the early 80s by someone who ordered a drink from a bar tender that would ‘wake me up’. A double shot of espresso combined with sweetness and a bit of a kick is bound ..read more
