Pierogi Night in Niagara - Heritage Celebration
Ever notice how a particular smell, or taste brings back memories, a sense of nostalgia? It brings you to a special place or time with family and friends.
Fond memories over a heart-warming meal; this is what we aim to share here. Together we recreate my grandparent's holiday feast in a 1/4 the time. We use traditional methods and ingredients, but leverage our 21st century global perspective and experiences abroad.
Starting with fresh ingredients from the seasonal garden & pantry, we work our way towards the kitchen before stuffing our faces joyfully with traditional home cooking. Although meat is traditional with some dishes, they can also be made successfully without as desired.
Pierogi (potato dumplings), stuffed cabbages or peppers, sauerkraut, latkes and more follow tales of our migrations. Our Soviet Experience, our Canadian Experience and a few relevant historic artifacts follow in tandem with the food.
All the preparatory work is done for you, and you arrive with everything mise-en-place. You choose the seasonings and fresh herbs, tasting each dish through its trajectory.
Since we do all the cooking from scratch, the meal is highly adaptable to seasonal produce availability, special requests, and dietary needs.
