Sheila and I place immense significance on the time we spend in the South of France. 

Our sojourns over the years have undeniably left an indelible mark on our approach to hosting and entertaining. Amidst a plethora of regional dishes that have graced our palates in the countryside, none appease our yearnings for authentic flavours as exquisitely as a succulent serving of mussels.

For some, the notion of preparing mussels may seem formidable and worth relegating to restaurant outings. However the truth is that crafting this delectable dish is far from the daunting task it might seem. By simply following a straightforward recipe with uncomplicated ingredients the art of mussel prep unfolds with surprising ease. 

Here in Toronto, the culinary prowess of the South of France continues to enrich our gathering, as it can yours, when you prepare these briny delights in the kitchen
at home.

Bread Namecard DIY

To personalize our table, we add customized miniature baguettes wrapped in craft paper. Organize seating and give guests something to sop up all the sauce later!

Butter & Radish 

A quintessential French appetizer, radishes with butter and gourmet salt is both a light and decadent way to begin your courses.

The Main Event

For the main course, we will be serving mussels and shrimp over pasta with either a spicy tomato-arrabbiata sauce or a simple white wine sauce!

Feta Filo Sticks

Another perfectly light appetizer to welcome guests and allow them to nibble on as they patiently wait for the main course.
