The New Roots Dinner Series sponsored by Daniel et Daniel Catering and Events went off spectacularly on Tuesday night. Over 100 people dined and celebrated the harvest season, at six local Cabbagetown venues. The menu, artfully created by award-winning Chef Karen O’Connor and Pastry Chef Bonnie Kravitz, incorporated ingredients from our Green Thumbs gardens. Please support the venue sponsors, Labour of Love, Kendall & Co., Akasha Art Project, Spruce and Toronto Dance Theatre, as they’ve supported us! Also a big thanks to our Gold Sponsor Dragonfly Meeting Solutions Inc
Thanks also to Core Event Staff, Chair-Man Mills and our beverage sponsors The People’s Pint and Alegria. Photos below — credit Joe Nasr, except for the photo of Chef Bonnie and the Spruce Loft table setting, credit Sunday Harrison. Menu by D&D.
