Attended winter dinner party hosted by Mo and crew which was an absolutely incredible time…read more A room full of strangers left as friends through an evening of good food, new cooking skills, and team work. A few highlights for me: 1)the staff. Super friendly, energetic, and engaging. They gave us autonomy when preparing our dishes, but still offered tons of bits of advice and tips for when we are at home preparing similar recipes. 2) the food. Everything we prepared was delicious. The recipes are simple so anybody can go home and replicate. But, still bursting with flavor. They are also versatile so many of the techniques, ingredients, and pairings can be applied to many dishes. 3) the energy. The space is super clean, designed with great intention, and full of awesome people. It feels like walking into a community even though to start we were all strangers. Many laughs, recommendations, and stories were shared through a night full of wonderful memories. Food is a binder for many of us. Fennel has done a superb job creating a safe community space for many to create sacred, intimate memories! Can't wait to get back and make more grub!
