session zero

Session zero was all that we hoped it would be, and more. It was surprinsingly easy. As it was the experimental session and neither one of has any experience on supper clubs, we really didn't know for sure what to expect. But I guess it's true that when you are doing something you are good at and that you enjoy doing, the result should be positive. Or maybe we're lucky that we love doing something we're good at. 

This session served dinner for 18 people, including us, the hosts. We didn't knew everybody, and the guests didn't all knew each other, but after a few minutes there was chatting all over the guest house.

Our main goal was achieved: to have such a mood where anyone can feel like they’re having dinner with friends, even if they never met before.

The next goal was to serve a meal to experiment new recipes based on the mastery of cooking techniques and wonderful ingredients. The feedback we got says we achieved this one too. 

We found room for improvement, which is good, because it gave us ideas to create the next session.

Here is the menu served in session zero, and don't forget to take a look at the photos.
