DESCRIPTION:Musical traditions\, much like culinary ones\, are often the result of the cultural fusion that comes about through conquest or migration. Fado is a perfect musical example; while evocative of Portugal it is spiced with hints of Brazil\, Mozambique\, Angola and Cape Verde. \nThe Afro-Brazilian musical tradition of Fado\, or ‘fate’\, dates back before the 19th century in Portugal where it’s signature rubato tempo and themes of the melancholic sea life of fisherman and the resignation of the poor were the soundtrack to the bohemian margins of society. \nWhen played in the local taverns or “Fado Houses” of Lisbon and Coimbra\, the experience of Fado is often intertwined with food —a few songs\, a few dishes\, a few more songs\, more food and drink — and so the night goes… \nTonight\, we seek to re-create this kind of experience\, highlighting the sensuous flavours and sounds of the Portuguese diaspora through a collaboration with chef and popular food blogger Paula Costa\, and local Fado trio Raízes e Ramos. \n—–\nMussels in Red Pepper & Lemon Vinaigrette\nThe bright flavours in these mussels will awaken your palette and are a lovely way to start a Portuguese meal. \n\nDrunken Roast Pork Loin\n\n\nThis is my favourite way to roast pork. The flavours in the 48 hour marinade are entirely Portuguese\, garlic\, paprika\, bay leaf\, piri piri\, marjoram\, orange\, and Vinho Verde (Portuguese green wine) and result in a moist and flavorful roast. I will serve it with a creamy potato puree and kale sautéed with garlic and Portuguese chourico.\n\n\n \n\n\nCarrot\, Pineapple\, Walnut & Coconut Cake with Vanilla Whipped Cream & Toasted Coconut\n\n\nThis flavourful and satisfying cake comes to us from the Portuguese island of Madeira where it is enjoyed for breakfast\, lunch and dinner… sometimes all three in the same day!\n—–\n\n$60 +HST \n—–\nPaula Costa started her blog\, Dragon’s Kitchen\, as a way to share recipes with friends and family\, but was pleasantly surprised when strangers began visiting the blog and leaving comments. It encouraged her to continue and expand how she used it. Social media has opened up an entire “foodie” world of new people and experiences for Paula. She finds that “each new meeting or outing expands my knowledge\, increases my passion and (I hope) makes my blog better.” \nRaízes e Ramos is a Fado musical group with Louis Simão\, a composer\, singer\, bassist\, accordionist and guitarist\, and pianist\, acting as one of the pillars of the Brazilian music scene here in Toronto\, and Jessica Lloyd\, singer\, with her classical training and performance experience is versatile with a capital V. \n—–\nEvery weekend The Depanneur invites a guest chef to host a fun\, informal dinner party. \nLearn more about Supper Clubs at The Depanneur URL:https://dev.thedepanneur.ca/event/supper-club-fado-sounds-flavours-of-portugal-by-paula-costa-raizes-e-ramos/ LOCATION:1033 College Street\, Toronto\, Ontario\, m6k 2b5\, Canada CATEGORIES:Supper Clubs ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://dev.thedepanneur.ca/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/fado-e1534177679938.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="The Depanneur":MAILTO:info@thedepanneur.ca END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Toronto:20180930T183000 DTEND;TZID=America/Toronto:20180930T203000 DTSTAMP:20260501T150427 CREATED:20180827T182008Z LAST-MODIFIED:20180915T202219Z UID:58308-1538332200-1538339400@dev.thedepanneur.ca SUMMARY:WORKSHOP: Homemade Sauerkraut by Leor Israelski DESCRIPTION:SOLD OUT! 2nd Night Added MON\, Oct 1\nIn this fun\, hand-on class\, you’ll be cutting\, mashing\, salting and stirring your way into a healthy and tangy naturally fermented cabbage sauerkraut as Leor Israelski guides you through the process of home fermentation.

It is typically made from whole grain durum wheat that has been coarsely ground\, soaked\, steamed and dried\, a process that enhances its shelf life and nutritional profile.

It is a festive dish which many Syrians take pride in cooking for family gatherings and celebrations. Chicken and chickpeas are boiled with spices and set aside. Then the burgul is cooked in the rich chicken broth\, before being re-combined with the chickpeas and topped with the deboned chicken and roasted almonds. It is traditionally served along with a selection of pickles. \n[vegetarian] Burgul behommos برغل بحمص بالخضار\nBurgul and chickpeas cooked in a vegetable stock\, topped with a generous portion of chickpeas\, with green peppers\, carrots\, and roasted almonds. \nSaltett hindbeh سلطة هندبة أو هندباء \nA salad of fresh dandelion greens with tomatoes\, onion\, mint\, garlic\, lemon & olive oil \nFatayer al tofah فطاير تفاح\nThese crescent-shaped cookies are a specialty of Ghada\, one of our talented cooks.

Ramen\, with its bold\, loud flavours is like a crowded street corner in Tokyo’s Shinjuku\, full of colour and noise and bright light; soba is more like the quiet and subtle beauty of a Zen monastery. The Depanneur is honoured to invite Ted Iizuka\, Canada’s only Soba Master\, to share an intimate and in-depth exploration of the making and enjoying of this traditional Japanese delicacy. \nSoba was originally a working person’s food — simple\, humble and nourishing — made to be enjoyed with hearty slurping. Soba in Japanese refers not only to buckwheat but also the noodle made from it. Buckwheat is not\, in fact\, a form of wheat or even a grain (it is technically a seed). There is no gluten present in buckwheat\, making it ideal for those on gluten-free diets\, but that presents unique challenges in the kitchen. \nWithout gluten’s binding quality\, which makes wheat flour elastic\, buckwheat flour falls apart easily and requires a skilled touch. A soba chef in Japan has to apprentice for over 5 years to learn the requisite skills\, and three of those are spent just learning how to make the dough. The most common soba today is called Ni Hachi\, (“two-eight” or 20% wheat flour and 80% buckwheat flour); the addition of wheat makes the dough easier to work and gives a smoother texture that is popular. \nIn Japan\, soba is a good nutritional addition to a diet reliant on white rice and wheat flour. Thiamine\, missing from white rice\, is present in soba; eating thiamine (vitamin B1) can help prevent the disease beriberi. Soba contains all eight essential amino acids\, including lysine\, which is lacking in wheat flour. \nThe preparation of soba takes place in three stages. First is Kibachi\, where the buckwheat flour is mixed in a large\, distinctive\, red lacquer bowl. The quantity of water to flour and the handling are critical in the mixing. Then comes Noshi\, where the dough is rolled into a large square using a cylindrical rolling pin. Great hand skill is required here\, and in Japan\, some of the rolling pins are reputed to have magical powers. Finally\, the rolled dough is carefully folded into layers and cut into noodles about 1.3-millimetre square. An impressive\, specialized knife\, made with the ancient skills of the swordsmith\, is used for the cutting. \nSoba noodles have a subtle nutty flavour\, and the purest way to eat them and enjoy their flavour is called zaru soba —the noodles served chilled on a bamboo wicker plate with a simple topping and a dipping sauce\, shiru\, made from bonito flakes and soy sauce. \nTed will prepare and serve zaru soba with all hand-prepared\, organic ingredients. He personally selects the buckwheat in the fields of Northern Manitoba and mills it at home between massive stones. He shaves flakes from a block of dried bonito from Japan to make the shiru. The soba noodles will be topped with a homemade oboro tofu\, unfamiliar to most of us in North America. It has a custard-like texture and a subtle flavour that you won’t find in commercial tofu. Ted extracts the milk from organic soybeans\, which is gently cooked to make the finished tofu. \nJoin us for this unique and rare opportunity to share in the preparation and eating of a traditional Japanese meal with a true master craftsman.\n—- \n$90 +HST \n—–\nIizuka Tetsuya is the formal name of Ted Iizuka\, Canada’s only Soba Master. We call him Ted-san; in Japanese the suffix -san is a mark of both respect and affection. Ted was a successful shipping executive\, posted in offices throughout the world\, including Toronto. When he was ordered back to headquarters in Tokyo\, he realized that the freedom of life in Canada would allow him to pursue his heart’s passions: soba-making and fishing. So\, he threw off suit and tie\, put on his chef’s apron and stayed in Toronto. We are lucky to have his presence here\, not for his introducing us to particular disciplines and pleasures of Japanese food\, but also for his work with the farmers of Northern Manitoba to bring the world’s highest quality buckwheat to the world.\nhttp://www.sobacanada.com/\n—– \nThe Depanneur invites TO’s best culinary talents to lead fun\, hands-on workshops and pop-up food events \nLearn more about The Depanneur URL:https://dev.thedepanneur.ca/event/workshop-japanese-soba-master-class-by-ted-iizuka-2/ LOCATION:1033 College Street\, Toronto\, Ontario\, m6k 2b5\, Canada CATEGORIES:Workshops ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://dev.thedepanneur.ca/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/facebook_event_1230124337120072.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="The Depanneur":MAILTO:info@thedepanneur.ca END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Toronto:20181013T193000 DTEND;TZID=America/Toronto:20181013T220000 DTSTAMP:20260501T150427 CREATED:20180903T183849Z LAST-MODIFIED:20180903T190522Z UID:58639-1539459000-1539468000@dev.thedepanneur.ca SUMMARY:SUPPER CLUB: Catalunya by José Arato DESCRIPTION:Catalonia is a region bordered by Spain\, France and the Balearic Sea known for its distinctive language and food.
