HollyGolightly

T’was the night before #HollyGolightly and a select set of foodie bloggers in Toronto were going through their closets contemplating what to wear for the big event. With butterflies in their stomach, and anticipation in their hearts, nothing seemed quite as fitting to grace this exclusive event held by Encore Food with Elegance featuring gourmet products from Sable and Rosenfeld.

As we arrived at the previously disclosed location, and huddled into the limo that would take us to the Encore Food with Elegance headquarters, it was hard not to feel a little warm and fuzzy. Whether it was just being around other foodie inspired bloggers (some with their high tech photo lenses), or toasting champagne, giggling, live tweeting, and munching on hors d’oeuvres…all at the same time, we knew this was an evening we would all not soon forget.

When we arrived at the Encore Food with Elegance grounds, it was clear that Chef Roshan Wanasingha had a lot more epicurean delights in store for us. The Prosciutto wrapped shrimp and Brie and Wild Mushroom we’d enjoyed in the limo, seemed to be just a tease.

Shaken or stirred, Ryan Silber poured us delicious cocktails topped off with a choice of Sable and Rosenfeld olives. The choices were delightfully creative: Vermouth or Vodka Tipsy Olives, Sweet & Spicy Tipsy Cocktail Stirrers, Sake Spicy Tipsy Olives, Vodka Garlic Tipsy Olives, Whiskey Tipsy Cherries. Just thinking about all these options is enough to make you tipsy, and the list is not even exhaustive yet.

But just sitting back and enjoying a martini was not on the HollyGolightly agenda. There were more epicurean experiences to explore, including a one-on-one instruction on the art of making a great hand roll. Did you know that using a wooden surface for your preparation makes it easier to work with the paper-thin rolls?
