The founder of Cookies Unite — our own Gita Seaton — held her own edition of the supper club earlier this fall, on October 4.
Salmon and BagelsA little bio about Gita:
Née Gita Seaton, in Perth, Ontario I started cooking when I was 15. Well, actually dishwashing and serving clients in a bakery.
Matzoh Ball SoupWhenever I got the chance I made some of their recipes. I learned useful things like don’t put knives in the sink and stuff like that.
Coca-cola brisket, potato latkes + kaleIn my formative years The Joy of Cooking was my Torah alongside a box with filing cards of family recipes. I’ve been a dishwasher, a waitress, a nude model (my only non restauration job), a bartender, and finally landed on the line. I’ve trained in Montreal, Spain and Japan. It was my mission to travel and stuff my face for years.
Macaroons, apples + honeyI came back (fat) to Mtl in late 2005 and worked for about 4 years at a famous fancy restaurant. Since I left there, I’ve been writing, taking on the odd contract and planning/hosting these events. So, now it’s your turn… EAT!
