All Wrapped Up - Christmas Special Supper Club
I love Christmas but not to the extent that I need to put up decorations in November - I am easily bored, so for me, premature decorating must be avoided! However, I have started to break into the odd festive tune whilst pottering about the house and well, Christmas is on my mind. Myself and my food elves (there's only one -but go with it!) are hatching plans quicker than you can say 'There's no room at the inn' for what promises to be a very exciting Christmas Special Supper Club, on Fri Dec 7th and Fri Dec 14th.
I know that the festive period means many things to many people, for me it is all about regrouping with my family, catching up with old friends and guilt free gorging on FOOD! Of course there are the presents too, but that's not what it's all about -BUT that IS what The Open Door Christmas Special is all about. When it comes to gifts it is the element of surprise that I love and that is why I have decided not to announce this menu in advance. It's going to be all wrapped up and you'll just have to come and do the unwrapping....sounds saucy...and it will be...in a foodie way!!

For those of you new to the experience of a supper club....you may have some questions;
Where does it happen? This Open Door Supper Club event will take place at my home in Dublin, (close to the city center) on Friday Dec 7th & Fri Dec 14th @7.30pm
What will happen? 10 people will come together at one table, getting to know each other, over the shared experience of a meal.
What will you eat & drink? On arrival, guests will enjoy a cocktail with a dash of Christmas magic, to wash down some nativity nibbles, followed by 4 courses of fun, festive, food parcels (not as Red Cross as it sounds!). I do my best to source organic, local and seasonal produce for the menu. Please bring your own alcohol or soft drinks to consume during the evening.
What will it cost? There is a suggested donation of E35. If you are unable to attend please let me know A.S.A.P. Unfortunately failure to give 24 hours notice for cancellations will result in a E10 fee being incurred, unless you have someone to fill your place. Please understand that because I buy the food in advance and as I am not a restaurant, I am not in a position to sell the food the following day, nor do I get walk ins :)
What should you wear? Dress as you would if going out for dinner.
House rules? This event is happening in my home -please treat it as you would your own.
