Due to excessive emails and in a last ditch attempt to save friends and family we as a collective, the Vyas sisters, have decided to blog, figuring three heads are better than one in the world of blogging, welcome to our world. So pick up your G&T and enjoy........
Traditionally Supper Clubs have different meanings according to where and when in the world you are, at least according to Wikipedia . We went to a “Supper Club” last month, hosted by the fabulous: Light Bulb Oven. The modern take on a “Supper Club” where a professional chef cooks and entertains guests at a private residence or space, there is a “donation” but it is not a restaurant and it is not permanent, the menu, location and times vary, chefs get to experiment and show off their skills without having to make a long term investment in a restaurant and the guests get to chow down on a yummy feast hopefully amidst great company too. The concept has become hugely popular in major cities, across the US. When I mentioned to Dhara that we were planning on attending a Supper Club, she was excited, apparently it is becoming popular in London too, and so a promise was made that we would try to go to one next time we are home. It is a strange concept, part private dinner party, with people you do not necessarily know, and part restaurant, a strange hybrid. We have to admit we were a little nervous going to spend a precious Saturday evening with strangers. We have experienced pretentious foodies in the past and so we were a little wary. But we had committed so we went along and we are so glad we did. The feast was indeed fabulous and we did indeed luck out on the seating as we ended up sat with the host and her friends, who were lovely and we look forward to seeing much more of them all! The chef was brilliant and she taught us how to present a cheese plate. Your cheese plate is set out like a clock face and you start with the mildest at 6pm and then onwards around clockwise ending with your strongest, which is usually the blue, in between the cheese you have the pair-ings, grapes etc. The chef had paired a blue cheese with dark chocolate which sounds weird, but is really good. Love cheese! Our first Supper Club was a very satisfactory culinary experience.
