Join us on September 9th and 10th for yet another Read | Eat | Drink book pairing dinner, where we create a four course set menu centred around a book from our friends and neighbours at Daisy Chain Book Co.

This time, our culinary inspiration is from the beautiful mind of Joanne Harris, and her book “Chocolat”

Harris's novel Chocolat follows Vianne Rocher, a single mother, and her six year old daughter Anouk, who arrive in the conservative French village of Lansquenet-sous-Tannes during Lent. After opening a chocolate shop across from the church, Vianne's chocolate creations and open spirit awaken the villagers' senses and passions, leading to a community divided between tradition and pleasure.

The menu will have many culinary references sprinkled throughout the book, and chocolate! … Obviously. The evening includes a private shopping party at Daisy Chain, a four course dinner, reception cocktail, and a reading of favourite snippets from the book.

We can’t wait to see you there!

July 8 and 9 - Read | Eat | Drink Book Pairing - Mastering the Art of French Cooking by Julia Child

On Tuesday, July 8th and Wednesday, July 9th, we welcome you to join us for another Read | Eat | Drink book pairing dinner, where we create a four course set menu centered around a book from our friends and neighbours at Daisy Chain Book Co.

June will feature the one and only Julia Child, and her book Mastering the Art of French Cooking.

Julia was a TV chef and author, most famous for adapting complex French cooking for everyday Americans, in a time when cooking was not in vogue, with her groundbreaking cookbook 'Mastering the Art of French Cooking'. Experts credit this book with "turning the tide" on American food culture 1961, when trends including feminism, food technology and fast food seemed ready to wipe out home cooking.

The menu will be a nod to some of Child’s signature dishes, along with inspiration from our own core food memories. The evening includes a private shopping party at Daisy Chain, a four course dinner, reception cocktail, and a reading of favourite snippets from the book.

This will be a long table service, with some family style offerings. The cost per person is $80 + GST.

We hope to see you there!
