Commensality, the special bond between people who eat together.


Commensality (n.) is defined as fellowship at table; the act or practice of eating at the same table.
(http://thinkexist.com/dictionary/meaning/commensality/).

In today’s world, it’s a dying practice, a forgotten ritual. Immersed in our busy, ‘individual’ lives, we can easily drift away from the ones we care most about. Those dinner time moments when we teased and played, when we shared our feelings and communicated are becoming part of a distant past. This is when today's malaise, loneliness and isolation can take root which is why it is so important to revive this old ‘tradition’ of commensality.

Curry Flavors Events has been launched to revive this spark.  It is an invitation to embark on a culinary journey to forge strong ties and add flair and flavor to your special moments.

Curry Flavors Events are sessions put together for small groups of friends to celebrate/ share an occasion. Birthdays, Farewells, Graduation, Congratulatory get-togethers, any reason to spend an intimate afternoon with someone special. 
These events are carefully tailored to meet food preferences, presentation style and group size. I discuss table settings, ingredients, cooking processes and conduct a full demonstration. Of course, everyone enjoys the lunch.

The all-important cultural insights session is enjoyed by all as I share some lesser known 'nuggets' of Asia.
If you are planning a special event, come talk to me and I will work with you to put together something that is unique and unforgettable.
