An Evening of Greek Country Cooking at Urban Pantry

This past Sunday, I hosted the latest Greek Supper Club at Urban Pantry, just 45 minutes northeast of Toronto, in Uxbridge. The concept was Greek Country Cooking and the setting of a Uxbridge was ideal for a comforting Greek meal.

Greek wine was selected and poured by Kolonaki Group and the Cretan olive oil was supplied by Nisos Importing. I would like to thank the Pagidas family (Urban Pantry) the staff, Carmine Accogli for helping me in the kitchen and Christina Kakaletris, who captured the evening with her photography.

My next Greek Supper Club is on December 14th but it is sold out.  I am however catering dinner parties and work-related functions, so if you would like me to cook for you, email me at truenorth67 AT gmail.com.
