A HARBINGER of happy natural wine times to come in Levenshulme as yet-to-open Isca bar announces a collab dinner on January 18 to showcase the twin founders’ expertise in low intervention wine and supper clubs.
It’s quite a coup for Where The Light Gets In sommelier Caroline Dubois and chef Isobel Jenkins who created the supper club Season's Eatings as they link up with Brooklyn-based ‘Sunday Suppers’ an award-winning cooking series and blog created by Karen Mordechai, a photographer, recipe developer, and stylist.
The Levy event is part of Sobremesa, Sunday Suppers’ global dinner series. Sobremesa is about celebrating friends and community, and gathering around a table with great food. The series of dinners are called ‘Golde’, appropriate for the seasons and inspired by the healing warmth of the colour.
Tickets on sale now, as befits the global remit, are $95 (£74) a head and include a 5 course menu, matching natural wines and 10 per cent of the price will be donated to The Hunger Project. Buy tickets here.
The food menu is smoked cheese, pickled fruit, congee turmeric, garlic chips, seven minute egg; market panzanella, carrot, radish, bread, herbs; crispy chicken, black garlic, olives, charred leeks; apple crostata, creme fraiche, pink salt.
