A couple of Sundays ago I hosted my second annual Mother’s Day Lunch at Toronto’s St. Lawrence Market Kitchen.

Once again it was an afternoon affair with appetizers being served and once again board was Nisos Importing, furnishing Cretan olive oil and many specialty ingredients from Greece.

Greek wines were poured by Chris Dedes of Majestic Wines and Imports.

Thank you to all who attended, my servers and sous-chef and photos by Jorja Photography.
