For more than a year, I\u2019ve been wowed by chef Amelia Telc\u2019s dinner pop-ups at The Casino<\/a> 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.<\/p>\n

Her resume includes buzzy restaurants you\u2019ve 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\u2019s just come in at the dock.<\/p>\n

On Thursday nights this summer, she\u2019s cooking at the new River Electric camp resort and swim club<\/a> in Guerneville (16101 Neeley Road). Her a la carte menus change weekly, but a recent dinner included chicken Proven\u00e7al, mussels in white wine, crispy new potatoes and a roasted plum sundae.<\/p>\n

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<\/a>.<\/p>\n
