Forget clicking through online profiles or throwing yourself into the fast lane of speed dating, the latest craze to hit the singles scene takes a tasty twist on courtship.
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."
Joining the cooking classes is as simple as registering online, where you can create an account and sign up for whatever satisfies your appetite. Currently the singles classes are tailored to age and sexual orientation, but any request will be catered to. If your single status is up, explore the couples' classes, in home family cooking or group sessions.
