Dragons + Fairies Dinner

Dragons + Fairies Dinner

This is my fourth theme dinner hosted by my friends Clint and Lisa. They’d been hosting dinners for years, but formally created the monthly One-Of-A-Kind-Dinner events a couple of years ago, which was borne out of a love for food and people. The themes are based on specific movies or genres, and people get dressed up to follow the theme, paying a cover charge for the cost of the food (the work is volunteered).

I can tell you, since I’ve been attending these theme dinners for a couple of years now, that the labour involved is incredible. The menu takes a great deal of planning, some components of the dinner are prepared days in advance, ingredients are sourced, the shopping list is long, they’re in the kitchen literally all day, and everything is prepared from scratch. These dinners are a labour of love!
