This Event is SOLD Out, sorry if you missed it. There will be a next time… event was well attended with 28 Members and guests. There were 6 wines, where the food was selected according to the wine being served. In France, it is all about the butter and a lengthy discussion ensued about the simplest of ingredients, butter. But then what is not to love about butter! Chef Martine Bauer is featured in our wrap-up video as her discussion was captivating. simply, it’s also the name of a College Street cocktail bar and French restaurant with a menu that honours what’s local and seasonal, as well as, the history of French cuisine. Chef Martine Bauer, of Pompette, comes to Toronto by way of Mauritius, where she worked at the Prince Maurice hotel. In France, she led the kitchen at Paris’ Hôtel de Matignon, the official residence of the Prime Minister of France. Once here in Toronto, she did stints at Brothers and Pearl Morissette, where she made connections with local farmers and producers. Chef Martine will be popping-in right before the main course of our May 17th Virtual Event to chat about her cuisine and to take a few questions.
