Classic Cocktails, Modern Twists with Tammy Coxen
Masterclasses offer in-depth explorations of food and drink topics, presented by experts and accompanied by demonstrations and tastings. Classic cocktails like the Manhattan and Mojito earned their place in history for a reason! But they've also served as a great source of inspiration, and some of the best new cocktails came about when bartenders tinkered with the classics. In this hands-on cocktail class with Tammy Coxen, you'll get to see that process in action as you make and compare four classic cocktail recipes and their modern twists. You'll learn about the origins and history of the Manhattan, Negroni, Bee's Knees and Mojito, as well as discover creative and delicious modern updates on those favourites. Along the way you'll learn essential cocktail mixing techniques that will make all of your cocktails better, and there will be plenty of time to get all your cocktail and spirit related questions answered. —– Bee's Knees A Prohibition-era gin sour, sweetened and brightened with honey and lemon — born from the need to mask the rough edge of bathtub gin. Go from the 1920s to the 2020s as you get spicy with a modern update featuring tequila. Manhattan A classic American cocktail of whiskey, sweet vermouth and bitters, stirred and strained — its history stretches back to 19th-century New York. You'll mix the original, then taste a much-loved variation from the early days of the modern craft cocktail renaissance. Negroni Equal parts gin, Campari and sweet vermouth, built over ice — the most iconic cocktail to come out of Italy and still going strong 100 years later. But it's endlessly riffable, as you'll discover when you compare the classic build to a contemporary twist with smoke and chocolate. Mojito Rum, lime, mint and soda – when made correctly, it's one of the most refreshing highballs around. Learn how to make the best version of the traditional recipe plus a sophisticated modern twist perfect for a celebration. Throughout the class, Tammy will share the origins and stories behind each cocktail along with essential mixing techniques — shaking, stirring, muddling — that carry over to any drink you make at home. The class includes a combination of history and stories, technique instruction, and hands-on making of cocktails — plus sampling, of course! Total consumption is equivalent to around 2 cocktails per person over the 2 hour class, and some light snacks are provided. —– BOOK NOW! – $79 + HST – https://thedepanneur.ca/products/masterclass-classic-cocktail-modern-twist-with-tammy-coxen —– Tammy Coxen grew up in Canada, spent most of her adult life in Michigan, and is now living in Toronto. While in Michigan, she founded Tammy's Tastings, a company devoted to exploring the world of food and drink through hands-on classes and tasting events. Since 2011, her focus has been on teaching interactive hands-on cocktail classes to individuals, groups, and companies for events ranging from parties to corporate team building. Her classes focus on not only the mechanics of how to shake and stir cocktails, but the rich stories of the people, ingredients and history behind the drinks. Tammy has passed the business on to one of her employees, but still teaches online cocktail classes for Tammy's Tastings and has started offering private cocktail classes in Toronto. She's also the host of My Tiny Bottles, a blog, podcast and YouTube series exploring the collection of miniature liquor bottles she inherited from her grandmother. mytinybottles.com | tammystastings.com —– Every week, The Depanneur invites TO's best culinary talents to lead fun, hands-on workshops. @thedepanneur

Modern Seoul by Jon Lee
Join Jon Lee for an intimate evening celebrating contemporary Korean cuisine through a thoughtfully curated multi-course menu, set against live music from local musician Dale Ross. Jon's approach blends flavours and ingredients that stay true to Korean cooking — some very traditional — with techniques and ideas borrowed from other cuisines. This isn't fusion for its own sake: everything on the table is unmistakably Korean, filtered through Jon's own internationally-informed cooking style. Served family-style around a shared table, this is an evening of bold flavours, live music, conversation, and connection, Modern Seoul is an invitation to slow down, share a meal, and experience the warmth of Korean hospitality. —– Lotus Bite Crispy lotus root layered with a soy-marinated quail egg and cucumber kimchi. Jon thinks of this course almost as a stack of banchan in a single bite. Banchan are often described simply as Korean "side dishes," but that undersells their role at the table, where they're meant to interact with the meal, lending acidity, fermentation, texture, heat and balance to each bite. Here, that idea is compressed into one composed dish: crisp lotus root, savoury soy-marinated egg and bright, fermented cucumber kimchi, each distinct but built to balance one another. Doenjang Orzo Creamy orzo built around doenjang, Korean fermented soybean paste, with crispy pork belly and shimeji mushrooms, finished with Parmigiano Reggiano. Probably the clearest Korean-Italian crossover on the menu — doenjang brings a deep fermented savouriness that works surprisingly naturally in the same role aged cheese or miso might play in a risotto. Rich, creamy and very umami-forward. Naengguk A chilled Korean cucumber soup with radish, nori and green onion. This one stays much closer to its Korean roots — light, cold, tangy and refreshing, serving as a palate cleanser between the richer courses. Yeoneojang Soy-marinated salmon sashimi served over rice with a rich egg yolk. Drawn from the Korean tradition of jang-marinated seafood, where seafood is cured in a seasoned soy-based mixture — the salmon takes on a sweet-savoury depth while staying silky and delicate, with the egg yolk adding richness once everything is mixed into the rice. Injeolmi Jon's take on the traditional Korean rice cake, normally coated in roasted soybean powder. That nutty, roasted flavour stays front and centre, but paired here with pistachio and milk chocolate to turn it into an playful, modern dessert. —– BOOK NOW! – $79 + HST – https://thedepanneur.ca/products/supper-club-modern-seoul-a-modern-korean-evening-with-jon-lee —– Jon Lee is the personal chef and owner of Aromas by Chef Jon. His culinary journey was shaped in two kitchens: professionally, where he trained in Italian and European restaurants, and at home, where he immersed himself in the traditions and techniques of Korean cooking. These parallel experiences have shaped a style that respects classical technique while celebrating the vibrant flavours of his Korean heritage. Whether hosting a communal supper club or cooking in clients' homes, Jon believes food is at its best when it creates connection and conversation. @aromasbychefjon | aromasbychefjon.ca —– Drawing on the colourful lyricism of Paul Simon, the earnest rock n’ roll of Tom Petty, and the modern whimsy of Ben Howard, Dale Ross is influenced by sound and style from across the decades. Born on the west coast of British Columbia, and living in 4 provinces from west to east, he has woven his way across the country and back more than a few times now, crafting songs that tell of travel, of real places and times and people. @dalerayross | dalerayross.com —– Every week, The Depanneur invites Toronto's best culinary talents to lead fun, hands-on workshops and supper clubs. @thedepanneur

A natural-born performer with a voice that feels both celestial and grounded, he first captivated listeners with Dopamine – his gold-certified debut album featuring the viral anthems “ElectricLove” and “Past Lives.” A decade later, the songs haven’t aged—they’ve deepened, mirroring the evolution of an artist more attuned than ever to his inner world. In recent years, BØRNS has explored new corners of his sound with the independently released EPs Suddenly and Honeybee—intimate, organic, and sonically expansive bodies of work that reflect a more personal relationship with music itself. Far from a departure, they were a continuation—expressions of the same creative curiosity that’s always driven him. Music made without compromise, led by feeling rather than formula. Now, with the announcement of a fall nationwide tour to celebrate the 10-year anniversary of Dopamine, BØRNS is reigniting his passion for live performance—and may offer glimpses of what’s next. Unconcerned with genre or trend, whatever the future holds won’t be a pivot, but another facet of an artist following his joy. This is a new era of freedom. Fully independent and artist-led, every move is intentional—serving the artist first, and the art that follows. ABOUT TWO FEET For most of Two Feet's career, he has bristled against the constraints of traditional pop songwriting, the critic-approved respectability of the album format and the handed-down expectations of what a song should sound like. His bluesy, bass-heavy first single “Go F*** Yourself” has no bridge and no hook, but has earned almost half a billion streams to date. Pink (2020) does away with the chorus on many of its songs. Max Maco Is Dead Right? (2021) is a voyeuristic concept album based around a troubled fictional character and Shape & Form (2022) is an album he describes as an “eclectic mess.” In 2023, he launched an independent label 477 Records to sign and collaborate with up and coming artists across the globe. ABOUT THE BLUE STONES The Blue Stones – vocalist and guitarist Tarek Jafar and drummer Justin Tessier – formed during their university days and inspired by the freedom of creating without boundaries, grew from playing small-town bars to headlining iconic venues like The Troubadour in Los Angeles, Electric Ballroom in London, and The Danforth Music Hall in Toronto. Along the way, they’ve racked up over 300 million streams, four JUNO nominations, and radio hits like Shakin’ Off the Rust , which topped Rock charts in Canada and hit #5 on U.S. Mainstream Rock.
Jaipur Literature Festival: In Conversation with Zakir Khan
Kutumb Kirrtan
"Kutumb (Family) Kirrthan" - The joint family system is almost disappearing nowadays. Having mother, father, son and daughter-in-law together in the house and if they are there, having a good time together has become a distant dream. It is very difficult to combine old traditions and new interests in the houses where they live together. A young man from a family with a similar tradition got married. The boy was steamrolled between his young wife, who tries new things, and his mother, who keeps a watchful eye on traditions. "Kutumb Kirratan" addresses on this topic through non-stop entertainment!!! Please note that this event will be performed in Marathi. Complimentary tickets for infants (aged 0-12 months) - please contact the Ticket Office for more information. All sales final. This event is organized by an external group and is not produced by the City of Mississauga.

Knife: The Attempted Murder of Salman Rushdie
More than 30 years after Iran’s leader Ayatollah Khomeini issued a fatwa, a religious decree calling for the death of author Salman Rushdie over the publication of his novel The Satanic Verses , Rushdie traveled to Chautauqua to speak about the United States as a sanctuary for exiled writers and artists. The event marked the 20th anniversary of a writer-refuge program—a setting meant to celebrate safety and creative freedom. It was there that a young man rushed the stage, intent on killing him with a knife. Using excerpts from Rushdie’s works, including his powerful memoir Knife: Meditations After an Attempted Murder , Alex Gibney’s documentary is both a striking testament to freedom of expression and a defiant response to the attempt on Rushdie’s life. The film incorporates never-before-seen footage shot by Rushdie’s wife, Rachel Eliza Griffiths, in the days and weeks following the attack. This material offers a graphic, unflinching, and deeply intimate account of what happened, including archival footage of Rushdie’s early career and rise to literary fame, the controversy surrounding The Satanic Verses , and events leading up to the attempted murder. It also traces Rushdie’s physical and spiritual recovery, including the challenges he continues to face, from losing an eye to the reduced use of one hand. Knife blends reportage with fictionalized dialogues to explore the mindset of the attacker, probing the “why” behind the violence. At its core, the film is a portrait of resilience, of Rushdie’s own extraordinary strength and the love that carried him through this ordeal, and a call to action against censorship and hatred. It argues that art itself can be a form of resistance. In Knife: The Attempted Murder of Salman Rushdie , Gibney, working with longtime collaborators Andy Grieve (editor) and Will Bates (composer), crafts a poetic dreamscape that reflects how Rushdie views his writing as his own “knife,” a tool to fight back, reclaim his story, and respond to violence with imagination and art.

Indigenous Food Lab by Chef Taylor Parker
The Depanneur is proud to host the Indigenous Food Lab, a monthly residency with Chef Taylor Parker and his team. It is designed as place to experiment with the possibilities of a dining experience rooted in First Nations traditions, a laboratory to explore a Canadian concept of terroir – the flavour of a place — and help rediscover and redefine what Indigenous food was, is, and could be. Chef Taylor’s sophisticated tasting menus celebrate local and foraged ingredients, and a deep connection to First Nations foodways, to the seasons and land, each meal showcasing ingredients native to Ontario. Weather, timing, season, and the caprice of Mother Nature will determine exactly what will be shared with us. Whatever comes to the table, you can be assured that it will be crafted with skill and creativity of a veteran chef. We live in the largest city in Canada, one of the most ethnically and culinarily diverse cities in the world. One can find almost any dish from almost any cuisine, with one glaring, egregious exception: the country we actually live in. Indigenous food is criminally underrepresented in Toronto’s food scene, without a single Indigenous-owned restaurant for people to patronize. More than ever before, Canada needs to embrace and celebrate its indigenous culinary heritage, and I believe the long path towards reconciliation can and should start at the table. —– BOOK NOW! – $99 + HST – https://thedepanneur.ca/products/supper-club-indigenous-food-lab-by-chef-taylor-parker-sep26 —– Chef Taylor Parker is of the Mohawk Nation, Bear Clan, from Six Nations of the Grand River. Taylor is a proud father, chef, forager, gardener, and friend. His extensive knowledge of native North American plants brings rarely seen ingredients and flavours to his dishes, with the philosophy that food is a conduit to connect people back to the land. Taylor is passionate about bringing like-minded Chefs together to share, educate, and collaborate on unique dishes that seek to define modern First Nations North American Cuisine. Taylor is proud to work alongside fellow cooks and friends Phil Magtulis, Matthew Kleinsteuber, and Tara Sachs at The Depanneur dinner series. Taylor has spent much of his professional life working in a diverse range of kitchens and catering. He currently consults and offers private dining experiences focused on First Nations inspired, hunt, fished and foraged ingredients. Taylor is also the co-owner of For4ged Candle Company in Brantford, Ontario. @turok_parker —– Every weekend The Depanneur invites an amateur or professional guest chef to host a fun, informal dinner party. @thedepanneur

September Songs: The Music of Kurt Weill – Restoration Screening
September Songs: The Music of Kurt Weill is a fusion of film, theatre, and concert performance that reimagines the music of the German composer Kurt Weill whose songs bridged opera, cabaret, and popular music with piercing social and emotional insight. Featuring an extraordinary ensemble—Teresa Stratas, Lou Reed, Nick Cave, PJ Harvey, Charlie Haden, Elvis Costello & The Brodsky Quartet, Betty Carter, Mary Margaret O’Hara, William S. Burroughs, and more— September Songs transforms Weill’s work into a haunting collage of performance, theatre, and cinema. Each artist reinvents Weill’s legacy through their own lens, creating a living dialogue between past and present, exile and belonging, beauty and decay. Blended throughout the film are stylized “documentaries,” evocative imagery, and cinematic transitions that transform Weill’s haunting melodies and biting social commentary into a contemporary meditation on art, exile, and the human condition. The film celebrates Weill’s enduring influence on 20th-century music and culture. Through its visuals, its music and its original choreography, the film merges concert, cabaret, and expressionist cinema into a single dreamlike experience. This restoration, undertaken by Sphinx Productions with the generous support of Telefilm Canada, faithfully revives the film’s original textures, sound design, and the distinctive cinematography of celebrated German director of photography Horst Zeidler, preserving a landmark of Canadian music cinema for new audiences worldwide. In English and German, with English subtitles. Screening preceded by acoustic set by Judith Lander and Jefferey McLeod. Following the screening there will be a Q&A with director Larry Weinstein, moderated by film critic Jason Gorber. TICKETS (+HST) General: $15 Members: $10, $8, FREE

Join Alissa Kondogiannis for this fun, hands-on cooking class that will teach you the easy, foolproof techniques to create perfect challahs and babkas at home. Challah — a golden, egg-enriched bread that is often braided, and typically eaten on ceremonial occasions such as Shabbat or Jewish holidays — has adorned tables since biblical days. Ideal for French toast and bread pudding, challah is also the perfect bread with dips like hummus, to mop up soups and stews or just to eat hot and tender, straight out of the oven. Babka is a sweet, twisted, yeast-dough bread with Eastern European roots. Typically served as a dessert and the perfect accompaniment to coffee, babka has transcended its humble roots and become a trendy staple in gourmet bakeries around the world. Classic babka is either chocolate or cinnamon-filled but can be made using any filling you can imagine, savoury or sweet. In this class, participants will learn how to make the quick, simple, and forgiving yeasted dough that can be turned into either Challah or Babka. Each participant will have the option to make and braid their own challah or how to shape, fold and glaze the babka to give it its signature marbled swirls and gleaming finish. There will be plenty of oven-fresh challah to taste, and just-baked chocolate babka to share in class. Each participant goes home with their own whole unbaked challah or babka to bake at home. —– BOOK NOW! – $79 + HST – https://thedepanneur.ca/products/cooking-class-challah-babka-by-alissa-kondogiannis-sep27 —– Alissa Kondogiannis has been eating challah her whole life but it was only after a travelling experience that she really got on the path of challah making. Her aim is to introduce everyone to the joys of bread making and and show that people don’t have to be intimidated by yeasted doughs. For the past several years she has facilitated challah making classes and has a small catering business of her own. @barnstarkitchen

Unzipped – 4K Restoration
Designer Isaac Mizrahi proved a force of nature on the road to his legendary fall 1994 collection, a career-defining triumph that was documented with an effervescent intimacy by Douglas Keeve, Mizrahi’s then-partner. Both a time capsule of the buoyant, raucous 1990s, when pop culture and high art became interchangeable, and a vérité-style, in-the-trenches report on the daily agonies and ecstasies of the creative process, this seminal artistic portrait—sumptuously shot by Ellen Kuras and Robert Leacock—transcends glitz and glamour to offer an extraordinary view of the charisma and force of will inherent to genius, as well as its personal costs. In English and French, with French subtitles. TICKETS (+HST) General: $15 Members: $10, $8, FREE

A Punjabi Evening with Neha Yadav

Through her home kitchen project, NaynayTreats, she creates warm, home-style dining experiences built around exactly that feeling: big flavours and shared meals. This supper club is a Punjabi evening, but it isn't restaurant-style Punjabi food. It's the kind of cooking that feels familiar, comforting and connected to home — generous in the way Punjabi hospitality always is, where guests are encouraged to eat more, try everything, and stay a little longer. —– 🌱 This menu is vegetarian; contains dairy & nuts Sweet Punjabi Lassi A creamy Punjabi yogurt drink, lightly sweetened and scented with cardamom — a refreshing welcome to the meal. Punjab's dairy culture runs deep, and lassi is what's poured generously for guests as soon as they arrive. Dahi Bhalla with Tamarind and Green Chutney Soft lentil bhallas soaked in cool, creamy yogurt, topped with a sweet-and-tangy tamarind chutney made with jaggery, chilli and roasted cumin, and a fresh cilantro-mint chutney. Finished with chaat masala, pomegranate and crisp sev — the kind of dish that shows up at Punjabi weddings and family celebrations because it makes any table feel festive. Hara Bhara Kebab with Fresh Green Chutney Crisp vegetarian patties — hara bhara means "full of green" — made with spinach, green peas, potatoes and cashews, served with a fresh cilantro-mint chutney. A popular vegetarian starter at Punjabi weddings that's just as at home on a Sunday table. Slow-Cooked Punjabi Rajma Chawal Tender red kidney beans simmered in a rich onion-and-tomato gravy, served with steamed basmati rice, boondi raita, crisp papad and Punjabi-style mango and lemon pickles. Rajma chawal is the dish many Punjabi families grow up eating on relaxed weekends — not fancy, but deeply comforting. Amritsari Fruit Cream Fresh chopped fruit like apples, bananas, grapes, and pomegranate, along with raisins, walnuts, almonds, pistachios, and cashews folded into whipped cream, condensed milk and vanilla, and chilled to a soft, scoopable texture. A generous, colourful dessert built for sharing, the kind served at weddings and family celebrations. Punjabi Masala Chai Black tea simmered with milk, fresh ginger, cardamom and warming spices, to close the evening the way Punjabi hospitality always does — with a reason to sit, talk and stay a little longer. —– BOOK NOW! – $79 + HST – https://thedepanneur.ca/products/supper-club-a-punjabi-evening-with-neha-yadav —– Neha Yadav is the cook behind NaynayTreats.
