On May 1st 2015, Fabulous Faith had the pleasure of attending the socially good dining series, Eat 2 Feed T.O. hosted by Good Food for Good; a Toronto based social enterprise dedicated to making a difference one meal at a time.
You arrive to Historic Montgomery`s Inn in old Etobicoke and
enter into a large dining room with marvelous millwork and a large wood burning
fireplace. A stunning large grand piano
is off to one side where a beautiful woman sits playing soft music. You are taken to your seat to find Neal
Brothers Pink Himalayan kettle chips and immediately offered your choice of
chilled local Southbrook Wines. It is
easy to start up conversations with your neighbour as chatting about this good
cause and the benefits to the community, the awesome food or the beautiful
intimate environment.
The food is fusion, 3 courses of Mexican / Indian / Canadian
awesomeness. As this takes place in
Toronto, our diverse backgrounds and love of healthy choices are well suited to
the options of chicken or vegan. So the
ambiance is set, great people out to support a great cause, a beautiful
intimate atmosphere and now of course the lovely menu.
The first course options were Oaxaca Arbol Mexican Sliders
(Vegan) or Endive Chicken Tacos. Both
plates featured three large bites of dramatic spice and texture, exciting your
palate while stimulating your senses.
The salad course was adorned with fresh berries and sunflower seeds
offering a sweet break to your palate.
Then along came the main, first for the meat eaters; Uber
tender Chicken Tikka Skewers with curried coconut basmati rice sauced to be with
a light coriander-mint aioli and spicy Vindaloo roasted squash was by far the
highlight of the night. The flavours of
India filled my mouth, I especially enjoyed the Vindaloo squash a sweet savoury
revelation of aromas filled my mouth and paired perfectly with the Southbrook
Rose. The vegan option was an
eye-catching Coconut Curry Quinoa Bowl topped with sweet potato, cauliflower,
chick peas and served with a side of Tikka Masala potatoes. For the vegan guests this menu was especially
thoughtful as vegan food can be rather bland and uninspired.
Finally :) there was dessert! The Historic Syllabub and original dessert
from the Officer`s Kitchen was executed perfectly. The cream, wine and lemons a frothy mousse
that coated your tongue and cleansed away the exotic flavours of the evening
leaving your mouth refreshed and ready to enjoy the rest of your Friday
evening.
Don`t let me forget the best part! All profits are donated to Food Share to help
deliver healthy food and food education in Toronto! A dinner out for a great cause!
So now that you are ready to go… The next dates are July 3rd,
September 4th and November 6th 2015!
