A new pick-up party has entered the Canadian dating world: the Single Supper Club. Part flirting, part eating, participants are taught the intricacies of fine cuisine by a professional chef while they mingle with potential eligible's.
Aphrodite Cooks, a Toronto-based event catering business is owned and operated by Vanessa Yeung and Stephenie Summerhill, two women who have always had a passion for cooking with the panache for hosting a successful soiree. Yeung is the chef who leads the group (anywhere from 10-20 participants), while Summerhill acts as the host for the evening. The two connected while working for NHL goalie Ed Belfour. Summerhill was his personal assistant and Yeung was his private chef. After learning Belfour was moving out of town Yeung approached Summerhill with the idea for the business she'd been contemplating after a former culinary school classmate suggested it. "My friend, Angie MacRae, host of This Food, on FoodTV mentioned how she used to teach recreational cooking classes,” says Yeung. “She noticed the social interaction there and thought it would be a great platform for people to meet."
