REEL EATS invites you to engage all of your senses. Join us for a monthly gastronomic film and story-telling event that brings together Toronto’s finest chefs, raconteurs (think CBC Radio’s DNTO live) and food lovers in one gloriously delicious evening. Themes generated by a famous culinary film lie at the heart of every event.

In honour of the Chinese New Year and The Year of the Dragon, our inaugural Reel Eats event pays homage to Asia via the fantastic food lover’s film “EAT DRINK MAN WOMAN” directed by Ang Lee. The film centers around Master Chef Chu and the elaborate Sunday dinners he painstakingly creates for his three beautiful daughters – one father’s way of getting his family to slow down and communicate in Taipei’s fast-forward, modern society. Inspired by Chef Chu, the evening’s multiple courses will be prepared and introduced by Chef Vanessa Yeung (www.aphroditecooks.com ) – a Stratford Chef School graduate, Scaramouche apprentice under Chef Keith Froggett and former personal chef to ex-NHL Toronto Maple Leafs Goalie Ed Belfour.
