On February 23, 2014, I hosted my first Portuguese Supper Club in Toronto at the Aphrodite Cooks Studio. 24 guests joined me for a night of delicious Portuguese food and wine. It was a fun and emotional night as friends (new and old) helped me celebrate my heritage through food. I'm already planning my next supper club! I couldn't have done this on my own and I'm grateful for my partner Peter's support and help in the kitchen. I also want to thank Peter and Sid Friedman for taking such great photos.
I wanted to share with you the evening's menu and some photos. I've added links to the recipes on my blog.
Enjoy some of the photos from the night. The music is by Amalia Rodrigues, one of Portugal's best Fado singers.
