May 25 - Sunday Spirit Club ft. Rig Hand Distillery

May 25 - Sunday Spirit Club ft. Rig Hand Distillery

The amount of award winning distilleries in our own back yard is actually amazing.

For the month of May, we're not venturing across oceans to bring you unique spirits to try - we're inviting our neighbours from Rig Hand Distillery in Nisku.

This family based business makes exceptional handcrafted liquor that is locally sourced, produced, and distributed. Their spirits are packaged in a distinctive trademarked bottle that is a replica of the Leduc #1 drilling rig, paying tribute to our rich history of both agriculture and resource development in Alberta.

For the spirit club, you will be greeted with a reception cocktail followed by a tasting of three different pours, paired to three small bites, highlighting each spirits unique flavour profile and character.

The event starts at 4pm, and goes until about 5:30-6pm.

We hope to see you there!

May 5th - Read | Eat | Drink Book Pairing - A Man Called Ove

May 5th - Read | Eat | Drink Book Pairing - A Man Called Ove

On Monday, May 5th join us for the second 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.

For May we're switching gears from non-fiction, using "A Man Called Ove" by Fredrik Backman as our culinary inspiration.

Backman's debut novel quickly became a New York Time's best seller, and was recently made into a movie starring Tom Hanks. It's a funny, moving, uplifting tale of love and community that will leave you with a spring in your step.

Ove is the quintessential angry old man next door. An isolated retiree with strict principles and a short fuse, who spends his days enforcing block association rules that only he cares about, and visiting his wife's grave, Ove has given up on life. After a boisterous young family moves in next door and accidentally flattens Ove's mailbox, an unlikely friendship forms

The menu will be a blend of culinary references sprinkled throughout the book, 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.

March 26th - Read | Eat | Drink Book Pairing

March 26th - Read | Eat | Drink Book Pairing

On Wednesday, March 26th join us for the first ever 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

We're kicking off with a book that sparked SO much joy for our culinary and foodie hearts - Taste by Stanley Tucci. 

Taste is a reflection on the intersection of food and life, filled with anecdotes about growing up in Westchester New York; preparing for and shooting the foodie films Big Night and Julie & Julia; falling in love over dinner, and teaming up with his wife to create meals for a multitude of children. Each morsel of this gastronomic journey through good times and bad, five-star meals and burned dishes, is as heartfelt and delicious as the last. 

The menu will be a blend of recipes from Tucci's memoir, 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. The cost per person is $75 + GST.

We hope to see you there! 

PS- Tucci’s book is available at Daisy Chain Book co, and you’ll receive a voucher for a free loaf of sourdough if you purchase from this local gem :)
