Description
Heritage Month Part 1: Haiti's IndependenceJanuary marks two important holidays for Urban Acorn co-founders Marie & Chef Daniel: Haiti's Independence day & Robbie Burns day. Both will be commemorated, beginning with Haiti's independence...In 1804 Haitians won a revolt against Napoleons army, becoming the first independent black nation in the world. Every January 1st Haitians remember that triumphant day with family, friends and of course food!!! Haitian food is quite unique and though it features many flavours from the Caribbean, it is the culinary techniques borrowed from the French that sets its food apart. Haitian food is island cuisine filled with warm notes and tangy flavours; it is not generally vegan (or vegetarian), however, we have done our best to present to you the essence of these traditional dishes and infuse them with the same care and practices you'd expect to see in Haiti. We really hope you enjoy this special menu:MenuIntroduction Course: Soup Joumou {Acorn Squash Soup with Coconut Milk, Cilantro and Noodles}.Second Course: Fritay: Marinade, Accra et Banan Pezé {Street Food Medley: Savoury pancake dumplings, Edo Fritters and fried plantains}Main Course: Mais Moulin Boukané ak Zepina et Banan Plantain {Smokey Spinach Grits with Savoury Plantains}Dessert: Soursop Ice Cream with Coconut “Tablet Cocoye”Coffee, tea, sparkling and flat water included.The event begins at 7pm and dinner will start at 7:20pm or when most of the guests have arrived.No alcohol will be served onsite; if you choose to bring wine/beer, don't drink and drive.{About Vegan Supper Clubs}We host a monthly themed Vegan Supper Club in our second level loft kitchen.What's a Supper Club you ask? Think of it as an informal dinner party meant to encourage guests to mingle, share and celebrate food. Events are 19+, complimentary sparkling and flat water will be provided. Here's a sneak peak of what to expect or check out our Supper Club Gallery.Are they always Vegan? Yes. We want people to feel included in the discussion around food, culture and the arts and feel making these events vegan will allow more guests to participate. We also do special Gluten-Free editions a few times a year.{About Urban Acorn LTD.}Just like an idea, acorns begin small with the hopes of becoming something big, strong and meaningful. This was the initial push behind Urban Acorn LTD. a Flexiatarian Catering company founded by Chef Daniel Holloway and his parntner Marie Fitrion.Inspired by art, music, and using food as a dialogue for social change, Urban Acorn wants to encourage people to broaden their understanding of food and each other with the hopes of building stronger communities. Their mostly plant-based 'Flexitarian' approach to cuisine, allows them to seemlessly create menus to both omnivores and vegans. Their philosophy is simple, they believe food should unite, not divide people
