SUMMARY:SUPPER CLUB: Friendsgiving by Crystal Powell
DESCRIPTION:This event takes place in the CCFE Solutions Salon at CSI Spadina\, 192 Spadina Ave.\, Suite 501\nFriendsgiving is a Thanksgiving-themed meal typically eaten prior to or instead of a family Thanksgiving dinner. For Chef Crystal Powell\, Friendsgiving was something celebrated during her time in the military\, when close friends and colleagues had to work through the feast holidays. It was a time to be grateful\, humble and know that each person would not be forgotten while being away from their loved ones\, or preparing to be shipped off to parts unknown to serve. \nGreat food\, good company and laughter was the motto. The mess hall became a place to come together; it didn’t matter what your station or rank was\, you left it at the door. For Crystal\, this was the time to remember\, cherish and be honoured to surrounded by the incredible men and women she admired. Inspired by this tradition and its many fond memories\, Crystal has pulled out all the stops for a beautiful seasonal feast to celebrate everything wonderful about gathering around the table with friends\, new and old. \n—– \nTruffle Cauliflower Soup (Vegan/GF)\nCaramelized shallots\, smoked parsnip\, roasted garlic\, smoked paprika oil\, fresh chives. \nThe Blue and White in the Sky\nGem lettuce\, romaine hearts\, silvered Bosc pears\, candied pecans\, Gorgonzola crumble\, lemon poppy seed vinaigrette \nBombay Butter Chicken\nSmoked habanero rub\, aRoqa tandoori yogurt\, naan crumble\n–or–\nGrilled Atlantic Salmon (GF)\nAvocado chimichurri salsa\, scallions\, fresh cilantro \nYukon Gold Puree\nwith roasted garlic\, chive (GF) \nFrench Green Beans\nwith whipped bone marrow beurre (GF) \nRoasted Heirloom Carrots\nwith Columbian coffee\, Maynooth maple\, sage (GF/V) \nSweet & Tart Ending\nLavender infused curd\, raspberry dust\, white chocolate crèmeaux\, black berry coulis\, butterfly pea foam\, fresh season blueberry compost \n—– \n$79 +HST \n—– \nCrystal Powell grew up in a family that shared a passion for food; her father was a pastry chef and her mother a graphic artist. After graduating with a degree in Culinary Management she worked her way up to become the Sous Chef at Casa Loma in 2010. After several years in different profession kitchens\, she decided to go out on her own with a few fellow chefs to found Kanvas in 2017.  kanvas.ca | @kanvaschefs \n—–\nThe Depanneur is a place where Interesting Food Things Happen.

SUMMARY:INDIGENOUS FOOD LAB by Taylor Parker and Matthew Anthony Knight-Barton
DESCRIPTION:This event takes place at CSI Spadina\, 192 Spadina Ave.\, Suite 501\nToronto is part of the Dish With One Spoon Covenant. In its very language\, it reminds us that by eating together\, we are connected.  \nThe Depanneur is proud to host the Indigenous Food Lab\, a new monthly residency with Chefs Taylor Parker and Matthew Knight-Barton\, the duo behind The Dep’s acclaimed and subversive Canada Day Supper Clubs.  It is an honour and privilege to offer a space where these chefs can combine their talents to explore the possibilities of an elevated\, communal dining experience rooted in First Nations traditions. It is their laboratory to explore and experiment a Canadian concept of terroir – the flavour of a place — to rediscover and redefine what Indigenous food means today. \nWe live in the largest city in Canada\, one of the most ethnically and culinarily diverse cities in the world. One can find almost any dish from almost any cuisine\, with one glaring\, egregious exception: the country we actually live in. Indigenous food is criminally underrepresented in Toronto’s food scene\, without a single Indigenous-owned restaurant for people to patronize. More than ever before\, Canada needs to embrace and celebrate its indigenous culinary heritage\, and I believe the long path towards reconciliation can and should start at the table. \n\n\nRead my profile of Chef Taylor from The Depanneur Cookbook\nTheir sophisticated tasting menus celebrate local and foraged ingredients\, and a deep connection to First Nations foodways\, to our land and our shared heritage. Each meal showcases a range of wild ingredients harvested by Chef Taylor. Weather\, timing\, season\, and the caprice of Mother Nature will determine exactly what will be shared with us. Whatever comes to the table\, you can be assured that it will be crafted with remarkable skill and creativity of two veteran fine-dining chefs. \nBecause food in general\, and indigenous food in particular\, is inherently political\, this series will also reconnect with The Depanneur’s Pay It Forward program. Developed to support Dashmaawaan Benmaazinjin (They Feed The People) as part of the Dep+Bentway 2023 Communal Table dinner series\, Pay It Forward directed donations from dinner guests to provide fresh\, lovingly prepared food to the elderly and unhoused in Toronto’s Indigenous community. Additionally\, two tickets at every dinner will be gifted to members of Toronto’s indigenous community\, underscoring the literal and symbolic importance of a seat at the table.\n—– \n$99 + HST \n—– \nTaylor Parker is from Six Nations of the Grand River Reserve\, where he inherited an extensive knowledge of native plants and foraged foodstuffs from his parents. Taylor has spent much of his professional life working in a diverse range of professional kitchens and as a freelance chef\, and recently launched FOR4GED Candle Company in Brantford\, Ontario.\n@turok_parker | @for4ged.candleco \nMatthew Anthony Knight-Barton has been cooking and managing kitchens\, venues and events for nearly 20 years. Matthew has a passion for all things fresh\, and a traditional British style of cooking with a French twist.\n—– \n\nThe Depanneur is Where Interesting Food Things Happen. For more than a decade The Dep has been showcasing Toronto’s remarkable culinary diversity through thousands of unique food events as well as the forthcoming Depanneur Cookbook. After more than 10 years at its iconic College Street location\, The Dep is now bringing all new Interesting Food Things to exciting venues all across the GTA. @TheDepanneur

SUMMARY:COOKING CLASS: Full-Day Breadmaking Intensive by Leo Baduria
DESCRIPTION:This event takes place at CSI Spadina\, 192 Spadina Ave.\, Suite 501\nOne of The Depanneur’s most popular workshops!\nJoin artisanal baker Leo Baduria for a full-day\, in-depth exploration of the fundamentals of great bread. You’ll learn how to make your own sourdough starter\, and how to prepare different types of dough\, using various grains and flours. There will be hands-on practice of the techniques to folding\, kneading and shaping dough to make focaccia\, fougasse\, baguettes\, boules\, batards and brioches\, including challah braids. \nThe morning focuses on dough-making; first for the focaccia and pizza\, followed by the dough for baguettes\, boules and batards using different types of flour. This is then followed by making the brioche dough\, which takes longer to rise. \nThe afternoon focuses on the shaping and baking of the various breads\, starting with the focaccia and pizza dough. By mid-afternoon the baguette\, boules and batards will be ready to shape. While they are baking\, the brioche dough will be ready for shaping into various types\, such as challah\, loaf\, brioche buns. \nThroughout the day there will be oven-fresh bread to snack on with cheese\, fruits\, and some charcuterie — please feel free to bring any topping you’d like to share!\n—– \n$159 +HST \n—–\nLeo Baduria‘s introduction to fine breads started in Montreal where he lived from 1977 to 1988. This beautiful city boasts a large number of fine boulangeries in just about every quartier where one can find a superb baguette for dinner or croissant for breakfast. This growing fascination with French breads led him to try baking his own baguettes via several books on French baking. Over time\, Leo assisted several bakers in Montreal\, France and Italy – learning techniques that he would incorporate in his own baking – and has since given several sold out bread workshops to bread lovers who wanted to learn the artisanal way of making bread. Leo’s approach to baking is one that respects the soul of the living yeasts\, the quality of grains used to make the flour and the enjoyment of the whole baking process from start to finish.\n@mywindowtotheworld \nThe Depanneur is Where Interesting Food Things Happen.

SUMMARY:[1 PM] BRUNCH: Filipino Fiesta by Maria Polotan
DESCRIPTION:This event takes place in the CCFE Solutions Salon at CSI Spadina\, 192 Spadina Ave.\, Suite 501\nMaria Polotan probably did more to transform my appreciation of Filipino food than anyone. Prior to starting The Dep\, I hadn’t really had much experience with this cuisine. But that all changed when Maria brought these amazing flavours to Mama Linda’s — her 2020 Brunch residency at The Dep\, and then to Lami\, her East end brunch pop-up. All I can say is if you have not had the chance to try silog\, the classic Filipino brunch of garlic fried rice with a fried duck egg\, topped with Maria’s homemade savoury-sweet\, Pinoy-style bacon\, sausage or hash\, you want to get on that ASAP. To help make that happen\, I’m delighted to bring Maria’s fabulous brunch to the new Depanneur at CSI for one day only\, with three 90 minute family-style seatings. \nNote: Maria makes all of her sausage and corned beef from scratch (brined for 1 week!) using quality local meats from Sanagan’s\, and uses gluten-free soy sauce throughout.\n—– \nSilog Platter \nStart with a big platter of garlic fried rice garnished with cilantro drizzle\, garlic vinegar and homemade achara (pickled green papaya) for the table \nserved with \nLonganisa Bisaya \nLightly sweet homemade skinless pork sausages in Visayan (central Philippines) style (Maria’s local version uses maple syrup!) \nCorned Beef Hash \nHomemade corned beef brisket sautéed with garlic\, yellow and green onions and potatoes \n–or– \nVegan Adobo\nTofu\, mushrooms and greens in a savoury-sweet garlic soy braise. \ntopped with  \nSunny Duck Egg\nor 2 regular eggs (optional) \nand then finish off with  \nPuto Maya\, Manga at Tsokolate\nA classic breakfast in Southern Philippines: coconut sticky rice\, mango and hot chocolate \nBottomless coffee or tea included \n—– \n$29 +HST\n(Kids under 12 eat for 1/2 price!) \nSeatings available at 10am\, 11:30am\, and 1pm \n—– \nMaria Lourdes Polotan grew up in a family where food played a central part on how life was celebrated; the kitchen was where the family congregated and her mother presided. Maria shares her passion for food through Mama Linda’s\, offering traditional Filipino home cooking with quality local ingredients at pop-up events\, catering\, and at Withrow Park Farmers’ Market in the summer. @mamalindasto | @lamibymamalindas \n—– \n\nThe Depanneur is a place where Interesting Food Things Happen.

SUMMARY:SUPPER CLUB: The Singing Mama by Nayla Ghandour
DESCRIPTION:This event takes place in the CCFE Solutions Salon at CSI Spadina\, 192 Spadina Ave.\, Suite 501\nNayla Ghandour’s love of food and song has taken her on an extraordinary journey around the world. A Lebanese expat living in Dubai during Covid\, Nayla began sharing videos on social media of herself cooking and singing — both lifelong passions — as a way of lightening the boredom of lockdown. The project was only ‘amateur’ in that it was done only for the love of doing it\, but became a source of real joy\, pride and connection. \nAround this time Nayla began the long\, complex journey of emigrating to Canada. A temporary stay in her hometown of Beirut was arranged as an interim measure. Unexpectedly an opportunity to open a restaurant appeared\, and although reticent at first —  she had no prior industry experience — she decided to take a leap of faith into this adventure. The menu was composed of all the dishes she loved to cook for her family\, spanning Lebanese\, Armenian\, Italian\, and Indian food. Her restaurant\, The Singing Mama\, soon became blur of singing\, cooking and hosting — a new home. \nUnfortunately the situation in Lebanon continued to deteriorate. Nayla’s family were granted an Express Entry Visa\, so they made the painful decision to close down and relocate for the sake of their children. Nayla’s own childhood was marked by war and bombing\, and she did not want her kids to experience the same trauma. Now in Canada\, Nayla hopes that cooking and singing will continue to offer pathways to new friendships\, as well as a connection to memories and traditions. \nJoin us for a night of delicious food\, lovingly prepared and shared\, accompanied by a selection of contemporary international pop\, jazz\, soul and blues vocals performed by The Singing Mama herself.\n—– \nEech Salad\nIn this classic Armenian dish\, fine bulgur wheat absorbs layers of flavour from a mix of sautéed vegetables and a rich crimson hue from a paste of smoky\, slightly spicy Aleppo pepper. Fresh mint and basil add freshness\, walnuts bring richness and texture\, and a garnish of pomegranate adds the final pop of colour and tang. \nKousa Mahshi & Warak Enab\nA beloved\, labour-intensive Lebanese dish of pale marrows (a kind of small\, young zucchini) and vine leaves stuffed with a mix of ground beef\, rice and baharat\, a fragrant Arabic mixture of 7 spices. They are then layered over lamb\, drizzled with good olive oil and lemon\, and patiently slow-cooked for hours until meltingly tender. The hollowing out of each kousa and the careful rolling of each vine leaf means this dish is a labour of love usually reserved for family gathering and special occasions. \nMujaddara Hamra\nAn ancient Levantine dish\, this mixture of lentils\, cracked bulgur and onions has been made since biblical times. This dish is a speciality of Southern Lebanon\, where it gets the name hamra\, meaning ‘red’\, from the onions which are fried until they are deeply caramelized\, sweet and dark auburn\, which lends a russet colour to the finished dish.  Served with fresh laban (yogurt) and mint. \nFattoush\nA fresh\, colourful salad of lettuce\, tomato\, cucumber\, green onions\, mint\, and radish\, with a lemon pomegranate dressing and crispy fried pita croutons. \nMedovik\nA somewhat unlikely dessert for the Middle East\, this traditional Russian honey cake has become something of a phenomenon in the UAE\, with several bakeries in Dubai specializing in just this dish. A decadent and impressive dessert\, it is comprised of more than a dozen thin layers of golden pastry interspersed with a rich\, tangy\, honey-infused cream. \n—– \n$89 +HST \n—– \nNayla Ghandour — The Singing Mama — has carried her twin loves of cooking and singing from Dubai to Beirut\, and now to Canada\, where she looks forward to sharing them both with new friends. @the.singing.mama \n—–\nThe Depanneur is a place where Interesting Food Things Happen. For more than a decade The Dep has been showcasing Toronto’s remarkable culinary diversity through thousands of unique food events as well as the forthcoming Depanneur Cookbook\, featuring 100 recipes from 100 cooks.

SUMMARY:COOKING CLASS: Low-Waste Plant-Based Cooking with Conscious Cass
DESCRIPTION:This event takes place at CSI Spadina\, 192 Spadina Ave.\, Suite 501\nFood is one of the fundamental connectors between us and this big\, beautiful planet we live on\, but it can also be one of the greatest contributors to the degradation of the environment. From food waste\, to plastic packaging and animal agriculture\, what we eat each day can really have an impact for better or worse on our precious planet. Conscious Cass will share with you a slew of tips\, hacks and recipes for living and eating in more eco-friendly ways. You’ll get to put all these ideas into practise by cooking and sharing a plant-based (vegan) communal meal made with an emphasis on environmentally conscious\, low-waste ingredients.\n—– \nGuacamole\nAlthough often bought in a plastic tub\, this appetizer is surprisingly simple to make and super customizable. When served alongside tortilla chips (bought in bulk with a container brought to the store)\, it makes for a plastic package-free app perfect for sharing. \nCornbread\nMaking bread from scratch may be intimidating to many\, so cornbread is a great place to start! It’s surprisingly simple and can be made from mostly bulk bought ingredients\, making it another low-waste recipe. A versatile recipe with a savoury-sweet flavour\, it makes a great side to a soup or chili\, or just as delicious on the sweeter side topped with jam. \nChili Bowls\nThe secreat to a great plant-based chili? Lentils! Packed with protein from those and a bunch of beans\, chili is a staple for the colder months ahead. It’s perfect for meal-prepping\, freezes well\, and is surprisingly versatile: use it as the base for a burrito or shepherd’s pie\, throw it on nachos\, or even turn it into a nice\, cozy bowl of soup. For this meal though\, we’ll be using it as the base for bountiful chili bowls. Customize your bowl with an assortment of additions\, from rice to corn and roasted sweet potatoes\, along with the usual suspects like lettuce and tomato\, and rich and creamy plant-based alternatives to cheese and sour cream. \nClassic Chocolate Cake\nYou might find it hard to believe this classic chocolate cake is plant-based and made with only eight ingredients\, most of which can again be bought in bulk. It will be served alongside some seasonal fruit and a whipped cream made from a surprising plant-based substitute!\n—– \n$79 +HST \n—- \nCassandra Della Mora (she/her) recently transitioned out of a decade-long career in teaching math to pursue her passion for sustainability. Over the last 8 years\, she has developed Conscious Cass as a brand to share her journey of adopting a low-waste\, plant-based lifestyle. She’s hosted events like a Cookie & Clothing Swap for the holidays as well as Conscious Cass Cafés where she brings together friends and family members in an attempt to build community around sustainable living.\nconsciouscass.ca  |  @conscious.cass\n—– \nThe Depanneur is a place where Interesting Food Things Happen.

SUMMARY:COOKING CLASS: Dia de Muertos Tamales by Iván Wadgymar
DESCRIPTION:This event takes place in the CCFE Solutions Salon at CSI Spadina\, 192 Spadina Ave.\, Suite 501\nAccording to ancient traditions in Mexico\, at the beginning of November the barrier between the living and the dead worlds become blurry\, and the souls of the dead have the chance to come back\, and be celebrated by their families and friends. Ritual foods are prepared and offered to the souls of the dead in colourful altars\, providing an opportunity for families to bond around the shared memories of those that are no longer with us. \nAlthough most strongly identified with Mexico\, Dia de los Muertos is celebrated throughout Latin America and in many places with a Latino population. Dia de los Muertos has its origins in both Aztec tradition and Catholic observance of All Saints Day (Nov 1) and All Souls Day (Nov 2). Although trick-or-treating has become more common on Dia de los Muertos\, the holiday actually has nothing to do with Halloween\, which is a Northern European tradition. \nImagery of calacas (skeletons)\, calaveras (skulls) and Catrinas (a specific type of calavera: well-dressed\, wealthy women in the fashion of the early 20th century) are the well known visual symbols of the holiday. Sweets\, such as pan de muertos (bread of the dead) and spun-sugar candies like the famous calaveras de azucar (sugar skulls)\, are eaten or left for the dead in ofrendas (small\, personal altars) or gravesites; the sweets offering a balance to the bitterness of death. Dia de los Muertos celebrates death as a part of the human experience. Tradition holds that the dead would be offended by grieving and sadness\, so festivities honor them with laughter and joy. \nJoin Iván Wadgymar of Maizal for a fun\, hands-on exploration of 2 quintessential Dia de los Muertos foods: savoury meat and vegetarian tamales and sweet pan de muertos. As a local grower\, miller and processor of artisanal Mexican corn\, beans and chiles Iván connection to Mexican culinary traditions runs much deeper than most. More than just recipes and techniques\, you will learn about the roots of the ingredients and traditions in Mexican and cuisine — literally what puts the culture in agriculture. \n—– \n$79 +HST \n—– \nIván Wadgymar has some unfamiliar job titles for a Torontonian: tortillero\, molinero\, and sembrador\, each one taking him deeper into the heart of an ancient culinary tradition. As a tortillero\, he runs Maizal Tortilleria making artisanal Mexican tortillas and totopos (aka tortilla chips) using locally grown organic corn. As a molinero he processes raw corn using the traditional nixtamal method that transforms it into the raw masa dough that is the foundation of much of indigenous Mesoamerican cooking\, making it more digestible and nutritious in the process. As a sembrador (sower)\, he grows his own heirloom varietals of corn and other vegetables\, herbs and spices in the sustainable permaculture tradition of the small milpa farms of Mexico. Together\, he connects land\, seed\, process and product in a way that is a celebration of both our local terroir and his hispanic heritage\, putting the culture back into agriculture. Along the way he both protects and reveals the unique flavours of a culinary tradition that is both ancient and very much alive.\n@maizalto \n—– \n\nThe Depanneur is a place where Interesting Food Things Happen.

SUMMARY:SUPPER CLUB: A Culinary Journey by Diana Chu
DESCRIPTION:This event takes place at CSI Spadina\, 192 Spadina Ave.\, Suite 501\nExploring Identity Through Food:\nA Culinary Journey of Heritage\, Resilience\, and Being Canadian\nStep into an evening where food transcends its role as nourishment\, becoming a lens through which we explore identity\, culture\, and history. In this supper club\, Diana brings her lived and professional experiences to the table. Her menu invites you on a culinary adventure that explores her upbringing in Canada — a place often portrayed as a land of opportunity and discovery — and her roots in India\, Vietnam\, and China. Personal reflections and realizations about being Canadian accompany each course. Food-wise\, you can expect the aromatic spices of India\, layered with the fresh\, vibrant tastes of Vietnam\, and the delicate\, comforting traditions of Cantonese cuisine. Together\, we’ll utilize these dishes to explore themes like the harms of implicit biases\, power structures embedded within our food cultures and systems\, and the resilience of cultures navigating change. More than just a meal\, this evening intends to spark dialogue and reflection on how food connects us to our roots while shaping our identities in the present. Join us for a night of storytelling\, flavours\, and connection—where the past meets the present and our shared understanding of the role of food evolves. \nJiaozi and Pakoras\nWe begin the evening with a two-part starter that draws on influences from Chinese and Indian culinary traditions. Juicy Chinese-style dumplings and crisp aromatic pakoras are served along-side\, featuring spices and seasonings reminiscent of both worlds. \nSoy-braised Chicken and Stir-Fried Greens\nOur main course takes you to Canton. Cantonese cuisine is known for its lightness and simplicity\, with a focus on showcasing an ingredient’s essence. Chicken is braised in a soy-based master stock alongside stir-fried greens. Both are comforting no-fuss dishes that remind Diana of her parents’ love. Dishes are served with white rice. \nRed Bean and Tapioca Tong Sui\nThe evening finishes with a childhood favourite – sweet adzuki bean and tapioca tong sui. Tong sui is an umbrella term that describes sweet soups originating from parts of China. \n—– \n$79 +HST \n—– \nDiana Chu was born and raised in Toronto. Her father is Chinese born and raised in Calcutta\, India and her mother is Chinese\, born and raised in Vietnam. An ex-policy consultant\, Diana leaped into the food industry in 2022. She has since completed her Culinary Management diploma at George Brown College and worked in a variety of food-based settings including fine and upscale dining\, a sandwich shop\, and business development at a food delivery start-up. A social scientist at heart\, she’s an avid observer of the role of food in shaping culture and community. Special thanks to Gary Hinds\, Diana’s life partner and the best listener in the world\, and Alex Chen for his culinary knowledge and chops.\n—– \nThe Depanneur is a place where Interesting Food Things Happen. For more than a decade The Dep has been showcasing Toronto’s remarkable culinary diversity through thousands of unique food events as well as the forthcoming Depanneur Cookbook\, featuring 100 recipes from 100 cooks.

Join Iván for a traditional holiday dinner and a deep dive into the foodways of  Dia de los Muertos\, delving into the ancient roots of the ingredients and traditions in Mexican and cuisine — the culture in the agriculture. The menu features a range of authentic ingredients grown by Ivan himself\, and processed by hand in the traditional manner.\n—– \nSopa de Tortilla\nTortilla soup is a popular Mexico City variant of the traditional Mexican sopa Azteca. A rich\, chile-infused tomato and onion broth is seasoned with epazote\, a distinctive Mexican herb\, and ladled over crispy strips of fried corn tortilla and served with a variety of garnishes like pasilla chiles\, chicharrón\, avocado\, queso panela\, lime\, and Mexican crema. \nTamales (turkey or vegan)\nTamales are an essential and ancient Mexican dish – soft corn meal dough (masa) stuffed with a flavourful filling\, wrapped in corn husks or banana leaves and steamed. Portable and self-contained\, tamales are a popular street food with countless variations found all across Mexico. These tamales come filled with with turkey mole\, mushrooms with salsa verde\, or beans\, and showcase the beautiful heritage corn that Iván grows and nixtamalizes himself\, \nFrijoles Refritos\nMistranslated as “refried beans”\, this traditional dish is made by mashing and reheating cooked beans along with additional seasonings. The result is a rich and luscious dip that features the organic black turtle beans that Ivan grows on his farm. \nEnsalada de Nopales\nThe nopal is an indigenous Mexican cactus that produces the pink\, sweet fruit known as tuna (prickly pear). The paddles are also widely used as a vegetable\, such as in this cool\, tangy salad with onion and tomato. \nAtole Champurrado\nAtole is an ancient\, pre-Columbian beverage made with toasted corn flour. When mixed with Mexican chocolate\, raw piloncillo sugar\, and spices it’s known as champurrado. This hot and creamy drink is commonly served alongside tamales at holiday gatherings or from street food carts and stalls early in the morning. \nPan de Muerto\nThis ‘Bread of the Dead’ is one of the most iconic of the Dia de Muertos traditions. A sweetened soft bread\, perfumed with anise and shaped like a bun\, they are sometimes decorated with bone-shaped pieces to represent the deceased\, or with a baked tear drop to represent goddess Chīmalmā’s tears for the living. \n—– \n$79 +HST \n—– \nIván Wadgymar has some unfamiliar job titles for a Torontonian: tortillero\, molinero\, and sembrador\, each one taking him deeper into the heart of an ancient culinary tradition.

SUMMARY:COOKING CLASS: Full-Day Croissants & Viennoiserie Intensive by Leo Baduria
DESCRIPTION:This event takes place at CSI Spadina\, 192 Spadina Ave.\, Suite 501\nOne of The Depanneur’s most popular workshops!\nJoin artisanal baker Leo Baduria for a full-day\, in-depth exploration of the fundamentals of Viennoiserie\, the magical butter-laminated pastry that is at the heart of croissants and many other classic European pastries from France to Denmark. Creating croissants from scratch is a somewhat complex\, multi-day process\, but Leo has expertly constructed a full-day workshop that will cover the all the steps so that you can begin making them at home. You’ll learn how to make your own brioche dough\, and the processes of mixing\, kneading\, rolling\, rising\, laminating and shaping required to make Croissants\, Pain au chocolat\, Pain aux raisins\, Kouign aman\, Chaussons aux pommes\, Palmiers and Brioches. \nWorking with some pre-made doughs\, as well as making your own dough from scratch\, will give participants a chance to get hands-on experience with every step of the croissant-making process\, an opportunity to make a variety of classic pastries that will be baked off in class\, as well as prepare additional dough to be taken home to be finished\, baked or frozen.\n—– \n$159 +HST \n—–\nLeo Baduria‘s introduction to fine breads started in Montreal where he lived from 1977 to 1988. This beautiful city boasts a large number of fine boulangeries in just about every quartier where one can find a superb baguette for dinner or croissant for breakfast. This growing fascination with French breads led him to try baking his own baguettes via several books on French baking. Over time\, Leo assisted several bakers in Montreal\, France and Italy – learning techniques that he would incorporate in his own baking – and has since given several sold out bread workshops to bread lovers who wanted to learn the artisanal way of making bread. Leo’s approach to baking is one that respects the soul of the living yeasts\, the quality of grains used to make the flour and the enjoyment of the whole baking process from start to finish.\n@mywindowtotheworld\n—– \nThe Depanneur is Where Interesting Food Things Happen.

SUMMARY:INDIGENOUS FOOD LAB by Taylor Parker and Matthew Anthony Knight-Barton
DESCRIPTION:This event takes place at CSI Spadina\, 192 Spadina Ave.\, Suite 501\nToronto is part of the Dish With One Spoon Covenant. In its very language\, it reminds us that by eating together\, we are connected.  \nThe Depanneur is proud to host the Indigenous Food Lab\, a new monthly residency with Chefs Taylor Parker and Matthew Knight-Barton\, the duo behind The Dep’s acclaimed and subversive Canada Day Supper Clubs.  It is an honour and privilege to offer a space where these chefs can combine their talents to explore the possibilities of an elevated\, communal dining experience rooted in First Nations traditions. It is their laboratory to explore and experiment a Canadian concept of terroir – the flavour of a place — to rediscover and redefine what Indigenous food means today. \nWe live in the largest city in Canada\, one of the most ethnically and culinarily diverse cities in the world. One can find almost any dish from almost any cuisine\, with one glaring\, egregious exception: the country we actually live in. Indigenous food is criminally underrepresented in Toronto’s food scene\, without a single Indigenous-owned restaurant for people to patronize. More than ever before\, Canada needs to embrace and celebrate its indigenous culinary heritage\, and I believe the long path towards reconciliation can and should start at the table. \n\n\nRead my profile of Chef Taylor from The Depanneur Cookbook\nTheir sophisticated tasting menus celebrate local and foraged ingredients\, and a deep connection to First Nations foodways\, to our land and our shared heritage. Each meal showcases a range of wild ingredients harvested by Chef Taylor. Weather\, timing\, season\, and the caprice of Mother Nature will determine exactly what will be shared with us. Whatever comes to the table\, you can be assured that it will be crafted with remarkable skill and creativity of two veteran fine-dining chefs. \nBecause food in general\, and indigenous food in particular\, is inherently political\, this series will also reconnect with The Depanneur’s Pay It Forward program. Developed to support Dashmaawaan Benmaazinjin (They Feed The People) as part of the Dep+Bentway 2023 Communal Table dinner series\, Pay It Forward directed donations from dinner guests to provide fresh\, lovingly prepared food to the elderly and unhoused in Toronto’s Indigenous community. Additionally\, two tickets at every dinner will be gifted to members of Toronto’s indigenous community\, underscoring the literal and symbolic importance of a seat at the table.\n—– \n$99 + HST \n—– \nTaylor Parker is from Six Nations of the Grand River Reserve\, where he inherited an extensive knowledge of native plants and foraged foodstuffs from his parents. Taylor has spent much of his professional life working in a diverse range of professional kitchens and as a freelance chef\, and recently launched FOR4GED Candle Company in Brantford\, Ontario.\n@turok_parker | @for4ged.candleco \nMatthew Anthony Knight-Barton has been cooking and managing kitchens\, venues and events for nearly 20 years. Matthew has a passion for all things fresh\, and a traditional British style of cooking with a French twist.\n—– \n\nThe Depanneur is Where Interesting Food Things Happen. For more than a decade The Dep has been showcasing Toronto’s remarkable culinary diversity through thousands of unique food events as well as the forthcoming Depanneur Cookbook. After more than 10 years at its iconic College Street location\, The Dep is now bringing all new Interesting Food Things to exciting venues all across the GTA. @TheDepanneur

SUMMARY:COOKING CLASS: Venezuelan Arepas by Luis Manuel Cordoba presented by AluCine
DESCRIPTION:This event takes place at CSI Spadina\, 192 Spadina Ave.\, Suite 501\nIt’s Arepa Party time! aluCine Latin Film+Media Arts Festival is thrilled to bring you this delicious and authentic Venezuelan experience!\nMexico has its tacos\, and Central America loves its pupusas\, but in Venezuela and Colombia\, it is all about the arepa. An arepa is a pre-Columbian dish originating in the northern part of South America more than 3000 years ago: a thick patty of cooked masa (nixtamalized cornmeal) griddled or fried until crispy on the outside but still soft and moist in the centre. What’s great about arepas is that they are fast\, cheap\, easy to make\, gluten-free and can be stuffed or topped with just about anything. \nAlthough modern Colombians and Venezuelans eat arepas daily\, they enjoy them somewhat differently; Colombians like them thinner and a bit sweeter\, commonly made with only cheese or egg\, whereas in Venezuela arepas are split open and piled high with a huge range of different fillings. In this workshop\, we celebrate the Venezuelan arepa and two of its classic fillings: Pabellon and Reina Pepiada.\n—– \nArepas\nYou’ll learn the whole process of preparing arepa dough from dried masarepa (a.k.a areparina or arepa flour)\, salt\, and water\, through shaping and cooking them on a hot griddle. \nVeggie Pabellon \nWe will make a vegetarian version of the classic arepa pabellón\, which has platano maduro (sweet plantain)\, cheese\, and caraotas (black beans). \nReina Pepiada \nReina Pepiada means ‘the Queen of Happiness’\, and you’ll understand why after your first bite of these delicious arepas stuffed with a creamy chicken and avocado salad.\n—– \n$59 +HST \n—– \nGet ready for the 24th edition of the aluCine Latin Film+Media Arts Festival\, which will run from Wednesday\, October 16th\, to Saturday\, October 19th\, 2024! Join us as we celebrate the rich tapestry of Latin American cinema and culture through a unique blend of film screenings\, panels\, culinary experiences\, food-making workshops\, and thought-provoking discussions. @alucineto\n—– \nLuis Manuel Cordoba is a Venezuelan Chef from Maturin City who opened his first restaurant in 2001 in Mérida\, a culinary hub in Venezuela. Later\, he joined forces with his brother\, also a chef\, to establish a corporate catering company before moving to Toronto with his family in 2010. He quickly found himself working as the chef of Arepa Café\, Toronto’s premier purveyor of authentic Venezuelan arepas. In 2015\, they launched The Arepa Republic\, an award-winning food truck that serves delicious Venezuelan dishes at events across the GTA. @theareparepublic\n—– \nThe Depanneur is a place where Interesting Food Things Happen.

SUMMARY:SUPPER CLUB: Cenaduria Mexicana by Mariel González
DESCRIPTION:This event takes place at CSI Spadina\, 192 Spadina Ave.\, Suite 501\nIn Mexico\, a cenaduria is a small\, unassuming place most often run by a family\, serving casual fare like pozole and tostadas. There are a countless number of these little spots\, each one a repository of family recipes and local traditions\, and every Mexican has their favourite ones for specific dishes. Tonight Mariel González of Catrina’s Kitchen evokes the spirit of the cenaduria with a very special pozole recipe\, passed down across multiple generations\, along side a few other authentic specialities from her home state of Nayarit in western Mexico.\n—– \nAgua de Horchata\nTonight’s meal is served with this classic Mexican agua fresca\, a chilled\, cinnamon-infused rice milk. \nCeviche De Camaron estilo Nayarit\nNayarit is nestled between the Pacific Ocean and the forested mountains of the Sierra Madre Occidental. Its proximity to the sea makes fresh seafood a big part of the local cuisine. In ceviche\, shrimp is ‘cooked’ by the acid of a tangy lime juice marinade\, then tossed with juicy tomatoes\, crisp cucumbers\, onions\, and cilantro. Serrano or jalapeño peppers add a hint of heat\, and avocado slices provide a creamy touch. Served with crunchy totopos (fried corn tortilla chips)\, the fresh\, zesty flavours will transport you straight to the beach. (Pescatarian\, GF) \nPozole Rojo\nThis ancient\, pre-Columbian dish is the ultimate Mexican comfort food — a hearty soup that’s like a warm hug in a bowl. A rich and flavourful brilliant red Guajillo chile broth loaded with tender hominy corn\, whole kernels of nixtamalized maize\, the corn that would traditionally be ground to make masa for tortillas. It’s a joy to eat\, adding on layers of flavours with an array of toppings — shredded pork (optional)\, crunchy radishes\, fresh cucumbers\, lettuce and the requisite squeeze of lime — that lets everyone customize their bowl to their liking. (Vegan\, GF) \nPolvorones & Cafe de Olla\nPolvorones\, also known as Mexican wedding cookies\, are crumbly\, melt-in-your-mouth shortbreads loaded with walnut pieces. Their buttery flavor and delicate texture make them a delightful pairing with a hot drink. Café de Olla is a traditional Mexican way of making coffee\, infused with cinnamon sticks and sweetened with piloncillo (unrefined cane sugar).\n—– \n$79 +HST \n—– \nMariel González is the heart behind Catrina’s Kitchen\, blending the richness of her Mexican heritage with a passion for homemade goodness. For over 20 years in Canada\, Mariel has loved sharing her culinary creations with friends\, family. After becoming a mom\, she decided to pause her career as a cellist to follow her love for cooking and create Catrina’s Kitchen\, a purveyor of artisanal Mexican culinary products crafted with love\, care\, and the finest ingredients. From spicy salsas to sweet Mexican cookies\, every bite is a celebration of joy and indulgence. @catrinas.kitchen.ca \nThe Depanneur is a place where Interesting Food Things Happen.

This beautiful city boasts a large number of fine boulangeries in just about every quartier where one can find a superb baguette for dinner or croissant for breakfast. This growing fascination with French breads led him to try baking his own baguettes via several books on French baking. Over time\, Leo assisted several bakers in Montreal\, France and Italy – learning techniques that he would incorporate in his own baking – and has since given several sold out bread workshops to bread lovers who wanted to learn the artisanal way of making bread. Leo’s approach to baking is one that respects the soul of the living yeasts\, the quality of grains used to make the flour and the enjoyment of the whole baking process from start to finish.\n@mywindowtotheworld \nThe Depanneur is Where Interesting Food Things Happen.

SUMMARY:INDIGENOUS FOOD LAB by Taylor Parker and Matthew Anthony Knight-Barton
DESCRIPTION:This event takes place at CSI Spadina\, 192 Spadina Ave.\, Suite 501\nToronto is part of the Dish With One Spoon Covenant. In its very language\, it reminds us that by eating together\, we are connected.  \nThe September instalment of Chef Taylor Parker’s Indigenous Food Lab\, his monthly residency at The Depanneur alongside Chef Matthew Knight-Barton\, will be a celebration of early harvest of native Ontario ingredients like elderberry and sumac. Falling on the eve of National Day for Truth and Reconciliation\, makes its especially timely and trenchant. \nWe live in the largest city in Canada\, one of the most ethnically and culinarily diverse cities in the world. One can find almost any dish from almost any cuisine\, with one glaring\, egregious exception: the country we actually live in. Indigenous food is criminally underrepresented in Toronto’s food scene\, without a single Indigenous-owned restaurant for people to patronize. More than ever before\, Canada needs to embrace and celebrate its indigenous culinary heritage\, and I believe the long path towards reconciliation can and should start at the table. \nIt is an honour and privilege to offer a space where these chefs can combine their talents to explore the possibilities of an elevated\, communal dining experience rooted in First Nations traditions. It is their laboratory to explore and experiment a Canadian concept of terroir – the flavour of a place — to rediscover and redefine what Indigenous food means today. \n\nRead my profile of Chef Taylor from The Depanneur Cookbook\nTheir sophisticated tasting menus celebrate local and foraged ingredients\, and a deep connection to First Nations foodways\, to our land and our shared heritage. Each meal showcases a range of wild ingredients harvested by Chef Taylor. Weather\, timing\, season\, and the caprice of Mother Nature will determine exactly what will be shared with us. Whatever comes to the table\, you can be assured that it will be crafted with remarkable skill and creativity of two veteran fine-dining chefs. \nBecause food in general\, and indigenous food in particular\, is inherently political\, this series will also reconnect with The Depanneur’s Pay It Forward program. Developed to support Dashmaawaan Benmaazinjin (They Feed The People) as part of the Dep+Bentway 2023 Communal Table dinner series\, Pay It Forward directed donations from dinner guests to provide fresh\, lovingly prepared food to the elderly and unhoused in Toronto’s Indigenous community. Additionally\, two tickets at every dinner will be gifted to members of Toronto’s indigenous community\, underscoring the literal and symbolic importance of a seat at the table.\n—– \n$99 + HST \n—– \nTaylor Parker is from Six Nations of the Grand River Reserve\, where he inherited an extensive knowledge of native plants and foraged foodstuffs from his parents. Taylor has spent much of his professional life working in a diverse range of professional kitchens and as a freelance chef\, and recently launched FOR4GED Candle Company in Brantford\, Ontario.\n@turok_parker | @for4ged.candleco \nMatthew Anthony Knight-Barton has been cooking and managing kitchens\, venues and events for nearly 20 years. Matthew has a passion for all things fresh\, and a traditional British style of cooking with a French twist.\n—– \n\nThe Depanneur is Where Interesting Food Things Happen. For more than a decade The Dep has been showcasing Toronto’s remarkable culinary diversity through thousands of unique food events as well as the forthcoming Depanneur Cookbook. After more than 10 years at its iconic College Street location\, The Dep is now bringing all new Interesting Food Things to exciting venues all across the GTA. @TheDepanneur

SUMMARY:PICKLEFEST HANDS-ON: Fermented Hot Sauce by Rebekka Hutton
DESCRIPTION:Henderson Brewing x The Depanneur presents\nPicklefest Hands-On\nA monthly workshop on all things pickled & fermented \nNaturally fermented foods use salt (or a culture starter in some cases) to create a welcoming environment for good bacteria. This process\, known as Lacto-fermentation\, naturally preserves the ingredients and provides the familiar sour taste in sauerkraut\, yogurt\, and sour pickles. No heat or vinegar is used\, the resulting ferment is teeming with healthy probiotic flora\, and the vitamins and digestive enzymes are retained. \nIn this hands-on workshop Rebbeka Hutton of Alchemy Pickle Company will cover all of your pickle and fermentation questions while you prepare your own custom hot sauce for you to ferment at home. We will taste plenty of homemade samples to find your inspiration\, including the classic Alchemy hot sauce\, a smoked paprika hot sauce\, and a super special batch of the original hot sauce Rebekka made at the end of 2021 for the recipe that was included in The Depanneur cookbook. \nExpect to take home at least two hot sauce variations of flavours you create yourself! Seasonal\, local organic produce\, and jars will be provided. We will be sourcing most of the ingredients from the farmers market a few days before the workshop\, so it’s hard to know what will be available\, but in the very least we will have a few kinds of fruits\, several types of hot and sweet peppers\, fresh and dried herbs and spices\, and fresh garlic. Feel free to bring along any special ingredients or jars you’d like to use. \nCheck out Rebekka Hutton’s recipe from The Depanneur Cookbook \n—– \n$59 + HST \nTickets include a complimentary 1/2 pint of Henderson’s beer (including their NonAlc beer) or a seltzer!\n—– \nRebekka Hutton is the pickle maker and owner of Alchemy Pickle Company. Rebekka brings unsurpassed skill and passion for sharing knowledge and sustainable\, healthy food in order to help grow the good food movement in Canada. Her experience as a cook\, program facilitator\, fundraiser\, and urban farmer are the key to building a food business that draws people who want to learn more about what they put onto their plate. Alchemy Pickle Company produces regional and seasonal fermented vegetable pickles\, sauerkraut and kimchi\, and naturally carbonated kombucha with produce purchased direct from local organic farms since 2012. @alchemypicklecompany\n—– \nHenderson Brewery was founded in 2013 to bring craft brewing values and techniques to beer that anyone would be happy to find in their fridge day after day. Since then we’ve brewed hundreds of different styles\, hosted hundreds of thousands of people\, packaged millions of litres of beer\, and won dozens of brewing awards. Henderson is a thriving hub for local food & beer lovers with food pop-ups\, workshops\, and four exciting annual festivals: Winter Warmup\, Under the Big H\, Block Party and Picklefest.\n@hendersonbrewing  |  Get your Tickets to Picklefest 2024 | OCT 5 & 6 \n—–\nThe Depanneur is Where Interesting Food Things Happen.

SUMMARY:COOKING CLASS: Syrian Kibbehs by Rahaf Alakabani
DESCRIPTION:This event takes place at CSI Spadina\, 192 Spadina Ave.\, Suite 501\nA popular dish throughout the Levant (Eastern Mediterranean)\, kibbeh comes in a vast array of shapes and flavours — in Syria\, Aleppo alone is said to have more than twenty different kinds. Best known are made from a bulgur dough combined with finely ground meat and spices\, carefully stuffed and formed into small football-shaped dumplings that are fried to a crisp\, dark auburn. \nMaking and stuffing kibbeh is a group activity just about every Syrian woman would have participated in at one time or another — virtually no major occasion occurs without the appearance of a platter (or mountain) of kibbeh at the table. Talented cook\, musician and co-founder of Newcomer Kitchen\, Rahaf Alakbani is no stranger to making kibbeh\, and she will be sharing her favourite recipes and techniques in this fun\, hands-on class. \nThis class will cover two different styles\, the traditional fried kibbeh lahmeh\, with a filling of spiced ground beef and nuts\, as well as a kibbeh bil sanieh (baked vegetarian kibbeh) with squash and pomegranate. Guests will enjoy them together with a tahini dipping sauce and a fresh and flavourful chopped salad.\n—– \n$79 +HST \n—–\nRahaf Alakabani hails from Sweida in southwestern Syria. She arrived in Canada in 2016 with her husband Esmaeel Aboufakher\, and together they were instrumental in helping co-found Newcomer Kitchen\, Nai Syrian Children’s Choir and Haneen Women’s Choir as part of their ongoing work to support their community. Rahaf continues to nurture her twin loves of Syrian cooking and culture in workshops\, choirs and concerts across the GTA\, sharing songs and recipes passed down from her mother and grandmother.
