As I pondered the menu I knew that I wanted to do real comfort food. Voices in my head and house tried to veer me to dishes that were more familiar to the American palette and perhaps more neutral. Sometimes dishes from home can come to be seen as weird and unappetizing. I know I've struggled as my daughter's desire for French Fries and Nuggets has overtaken what she can get at home.
Food that has been flattened out has no soul. The first dish of the PARDNA Dinner is a Bouillabaisse that has so much soul. The Fish Head Soup was born out of making sure no part goes to waste and it's filled with vitamins, minerals, and healthy fats.

I am honored to be part of PARDNA RISE Creative Arts and Wellness Hub supper club. Food tells a story, encapsulated in taste, smell, and sound. Cooking is an act of love and care that shines through in the darkest of times, when you make something with intention it is a conveyance of the heart in physical form.
I remember Thanksgiving in Yonkers with my Grandmother’s friend Theresa, who would take days to prepare the Thanksgiving meal for her family and friends. You would think that a woman with the responsibility to raise a child and care for an ill husband would not want the additional stress, but she looked forward to it.
As soon as we got off the elevator the scent of the fresh white bread permeated the air, so dominant that we would not know which direction to go, even after decades of going to the same apartment. The warm smile at the door and the warm hug from the split pea soup, the stories, smiles and the good times would continue with each course- capped with a sweet sendoff of Apple Pie a la mode.
I learned the importance of service from the many Theresas (my mom and many Aunts have this as their given saint name) in my life and I try to convey their lessons with pride in every dish I prepare.
Please join us for this inaugural supper club.
As always thank you to Andrew Taylor & Co. Books for the love and support.
