Starting a supper club

[RONALD DEAKIN]

Hello my name is Ron; I have been the home cook for as long as I can remember. Experimenting with new flavour and food combinations with my family guinie pigs always willing to try my new inventions

My wife and I have decided to set up and host our own supper club in our home. Our history of food companies and passion for great home dining has led up to this point and option. Semi retiring and moving away from the rat race lifestyle we led in London, has given us the opportunity and time to really plan different menu ideas. I love learning new techniques and enjoy cooking; French, Indian, Italian and gastro English cooking, always adding my own twist or interpretation of a recipe.

Our home supper club is our large conservatory to the back of our house. It seats 14 people over three tables. The area is spacious yet homely. The large space of glass ceilings and windows creates a great ambience when lit by low lighting and candles in the evening.

I have always wanted to have my own restaurant, but I suppose I have always been too scared. When I found out about people hosting supper clubs and read peoples stories like mine, I have finally plucked up the courage to organise one. It will be nice for others to taste my food and see if they like it. Now the agonising wait to see if people come and how it will turn out.

Cold up in the mountains here, but crystal clear skies.  Kids would like snow though on their visit, just planning menus & events keeps me warm, dreaming of comfort food, & warmer climes to come :)

Thanks Lynsey

Hope the weather is better here when you visit,as it's very cold at the moment and more snow is on the way.

Good luck on your first Supper club, you'll feel fabulous once you've done your first one.  I am visiting the U.K that week-end but unfortunately in the wrong area, otherwise I would have joined you.  Buen Provecho
