Once a year I hold an outdoor Greek Supper Club and a couple of weeks ago we returned to The Historic Bayview Manor for the most memorable dinner yet. I’ll be playing ABBA music all evening and I encourage you to dress up like you were in the movie/musical Mamma Mia (filmed in Greece).

This year’s dinner again featured fish and seafood, beginning with passed appetizers, two starter courses, main course and of course dessert…that’s five! Many of the specialty ingredients and olive oil were supplied byNisos Importing and Greek wines from Victory Wines & Spirits. Table water was supplied by Theoni Water Canada.

Appetizers:

Seafood Dolmades, filled with shrimp, calamari, rice and topped with olive oil lemon sauce 

Mussels Saganaki with fresh tomato sauce, crumbled Feta, piquante peppers, Greek oregano

Fried Zucchini Sticks with Tzatziki 

Housemade bread
