Hi All!
To all of you in New York, I am hosting my first supper club in NYC this winter on December 14.
For those who already know me, thanks for saving the date in advance. Those who haven’t already signed up, please register here so that I can cater for any food allergies or preferences.
Now a bit about me. I’m a passionate self-taught home cook who is the author behind kitchenmess, a healthy recipe blog designed to inspire busy working professionals to cook more healthy meals at home. My blog has been referenced by Buzzfeed and Food52 and I was also a Masterchef Asia contestant. Nothing brings me as much joy as my sheer love to bring awesome people together over a hearty and rustic meal cooked with much love using quality ingredients. It is my belief that the dining table – and not the smartphone – is the original social network. Many new friendships and relationships have blossomed from the dinner parties i’ve hosted over the past 3 years. Here is a short video clip as to what one can expect (but note flat will be different from one pictured here in Hong Kong).
Also, as it is my first time hosting a social dining experience in New York, I’m going to keep it cosy and intimate (i.e. less than 20 people). Special shout out to Seamon for hosting at his flat in Union Square. The menu below will be tentative as I will need to figure out the precise menu when I arrive in NYC to see what is seasonal and good, All I can say is don’t worry, I’ll make sure all of you will be fed very well. Most likely it’ll be some sort of mediterranean fare with some middle eastern twist :)
