Fang Ting Ting: From Here, What Remains Solo Exhibition

Fang Ting Ting: From Here, What Remains is a solo exhibition in which Fang looks back at the traces that family, an era, her surroundings, and personal experiences have left in her, and how they continue to shape who she is today. Through hand-stitched wire mesh, mirrors, and moving image, Fang considers how what has disappeared can remain in bodily gestures, habits, and ways of seeing. Stitching learned from her grandmother, the window-screen grids of her childhood home, and reflections composed of many small mirrors become ways of examining how these traces persist and form part of her present self. Dates 30 October – 1 November 2026 Opening Reception Friday, 30 October, 6-9pm Opening Hours Friday, 30 October: 6 – 9 pm Saturday, 31 October: 10 am – 12:30 pm, 2 – 6pm Sunday, 1 November: 10 am – 12:30 pm, 2 – 6 pm Address 2104 Dundas St W, Toronto, ON Admission Free entry.

Filipino Kamayan by Maria Polotan

Kamayan is a Tagalog word that translates to "by bare hand" and refers to a traditional Filipino style of communal meals. A typical kamayan meal — sometimes called a Boodle Fight, a name it earned among the hungry soldiers of Filipino army mess halls — features a table covered in banana leaves upon which a large mound of rice is placed, surrounded by a variety of meat and vegetable dishes, condiments and garnishes. The meal is then shared by everyone at the table, typically eaten by hand without plates or utensils. Join Maria Polotan, the Dep's go-to authority on authentic Filipino cuisine, for another fun, hands-on foray into the unique culinary experience of kamayan. Maria's kamayan dinner was recently featured in The New York Times' look at Toronto's food scene — this time she's back with a menu spanning the Visayas and Mindanao, from a Butuan City crab specialty to lechon-inspired roast chicken, and a luscious pork belly dish shaped by six centuries of trade with China. —– This meal will be kamayan-style, served communally on banana leaves over a mound of rice with a selection of condiments, meant to be eaten with one's hands. Kinilaw na Puso ng Saging — Banana Heart "Cooked" in Vinegar and Spices Banana heart — the tender core of the banana blossom — is sliced thin and "cooked" the kilawin way: doused in vinegar rather than fire, a coastal preservation technique that predates colonization. Bright, tangy, and a little sharp, it's the perfect palate opener. Tinolang Manok — Ginger Chicken Broth A clarified take on tinola, the ginger-and-chicken soup that's practically a Filipino comfort-food institution. Here, Maria distills it down to its essence: a clean, gingery broth with warmth and depth. Buntaa — Crab Stuffed with Spiced Coconut, Poached in Coconut Milk A specialty of Butuan City in Mindanao that rarely turns up outside it: whole crab packed with its own roe and fat, mixed with strands of young coconut and spices, wrapped in banana leaf, and gently poached in a fragrant spiced coconut milk broth. Humba — Braised Pork Belly An incredibly tender braised pork belly dish that traces back to Hokkien immigrants and six hundred years of trade between the Philippines and China — humba shares its DNA with Chinese red-braised pork, but has since gone thoroughly Filipino. Lechon Manok — Roast Whole Chicken A whole chicken stuffed with aromatic lemongrass, garlic and onion, then roasted and burnished with a soy-lemon glaze — the poultry version of Philippines' famous whole-pig lechon. Gising-Gising — Long Green Beans in Coconut Milk Long beans simmered in a spicy coconut sauce; the name literally means "wake up, wake up," a nod to the dish's kick of chili heat. Ensaladang Kamatis, Sibuyas at Labanos — Salad of Heirloom Tomatoes, Onions and Radishes A crisp, acidic counterpoint to the richer dishes on the table — heirloom tomatoes, onions and radishes, dressed contrast and complement the rich coconut milk and braised pork. Served with steamed rice, achara (a tangy pickle of shredded green papaya), crispy chicharron, spicy cilantro chutney, and fresh tropical fruit. Maja Blanca — Coconut and Corn Pudding For dessert, a Filipino take on the Spanish manjar blanco ("white delicacy"), reworked with coconut milk in place of dairy — cool, milky and lightly sweet. BOOK NOW! – $79 + HST – https://thedepanneur.ca/products/supper-club-filipino-kamayan-by-maria-polotan-oct-30 —– Maria Lourdes Polotan grew up in a family where food played a central part in how life was celebrated; the kitchen was where the family congregated and her mother presided. Maria shares her passion for food through Lami by Mama Linda's, offering traditional Filipino home cooking with quality local ingredients at pop-up events, catering, and at Withrow Park Farmers' Market in the summer. @lamibymamalindas —– The Depanneur is where Interesting Food Things happen. For more than a decade The Dep has been showcasing Toronto's remarkable culinary diversity by hosting unique food events. @thedepanneur

Radiohead Tribute – Idioteque's Kid A Mnesia Halloween Party

This Halloween weekend, join IDIOTEQUE, Canada’s finest Radiohead tribute band, as we celebrate the 25th anniversaries of 2 albums: KID A and AMNESIAC, plus hits from other albums, PLUS let’s make it a Halloween costume party while we’re at it! We’ll be giving out prizes for best costumes, and maybe there will even be treats! Kid A (2000) and Amnesiac (2001) are often thought of as twin halves of the same musical statement. Radiohead was responding to the massive success of OK Computer by resisting another guitar-led rock album. They traded guitars for synthesizers and a “what does this button do” creative mentality. Overflowing with ideas, these sprawling experiments expanded into two genre redefining albums, released only 7 months apart, and shook up expectations of what Radiohead would do to follow up OK Computer. Idioteque won’t play the full albums this time, but instead we’ll dive into this creative era and pull out many gems we’ve never performed before. The haunting sounds on these albums will feel very appropriate lining up with Halloween weekend. If you’re feeling it, come in costume! Doors 8pm, Show 9pm 19+

Scott Bradlee's Postmodern Jukebox - The Future Is Vintage World Tour

A sumptuous vintage-inspired musical experience Postmodern Jukebox — the internationally acclaimed music collective famed for their signature time-twisting style, transforming some of our most loved songs into dazzling vintage masterpieces — has announced a brand-new 56 date trek titled The Future is Vintage Tour. The tour kicks off in Finland on April 17th and travels through mainland Europe and the UK before heading to Australia & New Zealand in June. Renowned for their joyous, high-energy live shows, the multi-talented troupe of singers, dancers and instrumentalists will bring a brand new production to stages across the country — putting a retro spin on everything from ’70s rock classics and ’80s Britpop staples to today’s chart-toppers, movie themes and even video-game soundtracks. Packed with dance-ready numbers and jaw-dropping showstoppers, it’s a show that works just as well for a big night out as it does for the perfect family outing. Founded in New York by pianist and arranger Scott Bradlee in 2011, Postmodern Jukebox began as a series of videos recorded in a small apartment, transforming contemporary pop songs into vintage jazz, swing, and soul arrangements. What started as a YouTube sensation has since evolved into a global touring phenomenon, with sold-out shows on six continents and over a billion online views. The rotating cast has featured some of the most remarkable vocalists, musicians and performers working today — artists whose charisma, stagecraft and extraordinary musicality have made Postmodern Jukebox shows unlike anything else on the touring circuit. For more than a decade, fans around the world have flocked to these concerts not just for the music, but for the pure theatrical thrill: a meticulously crafted night of escapism, humour, virtuosity, and irresistible fun. Speaking about the upcoming tour, Bradlee said: "In the midst of the AI hype all around us, some folks have gone so far as to proclaim that in the not-so-distant future, all of the music that we listen to will be AI generated... we’ll gladly take the other side of that wager. On the 2026 Postmodern Jukebox North American tour, we're humbly presenting our own unique vision of a spectacular future; one that is built upon the timeless musical genres of the past and the authentically human spirit of creativity that inspired them." Fans are encouraged to dress in their vintage best and step into the immersive world of Postmodern Jukebox for a night of musical time travel — a feel-good celebration that honours the past, energises the present, and champions a brilliantly human future for music.

TIFA Presents Barbara Kingsolver

The Irish Descendants: Our Tribute to Stan Rogers

In 1984, following the untimely passing of Stan Rogers, a young Newfoundland folk singer named Con O’Brien embarked on what so far has been a remarkable 42‑year journey in the Canadian music industry. During his formative years as a performer, O’Brien frequently sang Rogers’ songs many of which told stories of growing up in an East Coast Canadian fishing town. Stan Rogers’ repertoire is celebrated for capturing the essence of the country’s diverse regions and communities, and like many folk musicians and enthusiasts, O’Brien was deeply inspired and transformed by Rogers’ lyrics, music, and storytelling. In the winter of 2026, O’Brien’s JUNO Award Winning band, The Irish Descendants, featuring Rowan Sherlock, Jeff Kinsman, and Madeline Carter, came together in his historic hometown of Bay Bulls, NL, to record a collection of tribute tracks. The result, “Our Tribute To Stan Rogers,” is a heartfelt tribute honouring Stan Rogers’ legacy. The album stands as a testament to Rogers’ profound influence on O’Brien’s musical identity and as a labour of love for the band, who hope their renditions will encourage listeners to explore Rogers’ extensive discography, a body of work that remains a national treasure. Our hope is that this collection will inspire future generations to discover the people and places Rogers spoke about, stories that have endured through time and tide, and that continue to show us, proudly and unmistakably, who we are.

2026 Eastern Semi Final – Toronto Argonauts v. Winnipeg Blue Bombers

Bride of Frankenstein

“These days, it's pretty much a given that a hit film will get a follow-up of sorts. In 1931, when James Whale's Frankenstein was breaking all kinds of box office records and establishing Universal Studios as a major force, the rules weren't so clearly laid out. The studio wasn't really too sure how this softly-spoken British director had made such an incredible, ground-breaking horror movie in the first place. And, as he was clearly on a roll following his hit with The Invisible Man and The Old Dark House , the studio pretty much let him get on with the sequel as he saw fit. Bride of Frankenstein is a wild ride, even today. It flits between the classical and the gutter, the camp and the serious in a manner that's hard to pin down. Boris Karloff is brought back as the monster, this time with dialogue (audiences would have expected no less), and Colin Clive returns as the Doctor, recast by Whale for his inimitable "hysterical quality", despite his worsening alcoholism. What the audience wouldn't or couldn't have anticipated was Ernest Thesiger's wonderfully fey and flamboyant Dr Septimus Pretorius (the studio wanted—but didn't get—Claude Rains), and his experimental royal family of homunculi, and Elsa Lanchester in her vertical hairdo, complete with bleached lightning bolts. Whale gave audiences what they wanted, even if they didn't know it themselves.” – Phelim O'Neill, The Guardian Want more chills and thrills? Check out Hot Docs' Nightmares on Bloor Street series!

The Sunday Antique Market

The Sunday Antique Market returns to the historic Small Arms Inspection Building on Sunday, November 1, bringing together more than 80 curated antique and vintage dealers from Ontario and Quebec for the first of three November markets. Some things simply can't be replicated: the daring lines of modernist jewellery, the beauty of an original painting, the graphic appeal of vintage advertising or the glamour of an Art Deco silver champagne bucket. Objects from another era continue to capture our imagination, influence contemporary tastes and inspire new interpretations. But there's something even more appealing about owning the originals. For more than 30 years, The Sunday Antique Market has brought together collectors, decorators, designers and people who appreciate originality and the pleasure of finding something unexpected. The November 1 market will feature an extensive selection of estate jewellery, mid-century modern design, antique silver, vintage advertising, paintings and decorative antiques spanning decades of changing tastes and creative expression. Exceptional style doesn't have to mean exceptional prices. From affordable vintage finds to remarkable antiques, the market offers pieces that make a statement, reflect personal style and bring something distinctive to a home or collection. This event is organized by an external group and is not produced by the City of Mississauga.

Once Upon a Time in Harlem

A decade after his death, one of the most significant and compelling filmmakers of the past century has one last trick up his sleeve: a trove of never-before-seen footage that he believed to be the most important he ever filmed. Genre-defying director William Greaves searches for the divine origins of his own creativity at a cocktail party he masterminded in 1972 for the living luminaries of the Harlem Renaissance. On a summer evening in 1972, a pivotal generation of Harlem Renaissance artists and intellectuals gathered at Duke Ellington’s townhouse. For over three hours, this extraordinary group—many of whom had not seen each other in fifty years—reminisced, critiqued, argued, laughed, and drank while wrestling with their place in a rapidly shifting cultural landscape. Shot on 16mm film and newly restored, William Greaves’ historic, cinema verité footage is at the heart of a new documentary film that will explore the role of the artist, the value of art in society, and the divine alchemy that led to one of the most vibrant periods in modern cultural history: The Harlem Renaissance. Directed by Greaves’ son David—one of three cameramen filming that day in 1972— Once Upon a Time in Harlem features artists Aaron Douglas, Richard Bruce Nugent, Ernest Crichlow and Romare Bearden, composers Eubie Blake and Noble Sissle, actor Leigh Whipper, poet Arna Bontemps, librarian Regina Andrews, activists Richard B. Moore and Louise Patterson, journalists Gerri Major and Ted Poston, historian John Henrik Clarke, theater impresarios Irvin C. Miller and Abram Hill, photographer James Van Der Zee, and more, as well as William Greaves himself. Louise Archambault Greaves, William’s wife and creative partner of 55 years, co-founded William Greaves Productions in 1963. Following his death in 2014, she worked tirelessly to restore his films and worked until her final days to ensure this landmark project would finally be realized.

Fallen Angels

Sparkling, dizzying, and deliciously potent, Fallen Angels , Noël Coward’s champagne-fresh comedy of bad manners, shocked and delighted audiences at its 1925 premiere. Two upper-class wives, their husbands away for the day, share a few toasts to their pre-marital dalliances—with the same man, who just may be en route from France to visit. Old rivalries and past scandals bubble to the surface in this intoxicating romp from one of theatre’s comedy masters.

$25 Adopt-a-thon

The Mississauga Animal Services Shelter is asking residents to help shelter animals find loving homes during their fall Adopt-a-thon. From November 2 to 14, Monday to Saturday, all dogs and cats at the shelter can be adopted for just $25, plus HST and any applicable pet licence fees for Mississauga residents. This reduced rate offers significant savings compared to regular adoption fees, which are typically $280 plus HST for dogs and puppies and up to $190 plus HST for cats and kittens. View pet profiles online. Why adopt from Mississauga Animal Services? When you adopt from the shelter, you give an animal a second chance at a happy life. All cats and dogs available for adoption have received basic medical care, including vaccines and spay or neuter surgery. This can help save you money on the initial costs of pet ownership. If an animal is too young to be spayed or neutered at the time of adoption, adopters will receive a voucher to have the procedure completed at a later date. First‑time pet owners can also get helpful tips from shelter staff on training, food and exercise to make bringing a new pet home easier. Learn more about adopting a pet . This is a multiple day event from Monday to Saturday, November 2 to 14, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Imaginary Expedition at Burdock Music Hall

Imaginary Expedition is a Toronto-based duo of Victoria Dobbs and Glyph Greenleaf who combine folk songwriting with early music composition techniques and intimate, unamplified performance practice. The ensemble draws people closer, quietly pushing the limits of what can be achieved with only their alto and baritone voices and a classical guitar. Their songs alternate between the lead vocalists, and gravitate toward duets with equal importance on both vocal lines. The name Imaginary Expedition reflects the experience the duo creates. Their songs spark daydreams and send listeners on journeys through memory, grief, gratitude, and self-reflection. Their lyrics journey through emotional terrain shaped by the vivid changing seasons of the North, with imagery drawn from great lakes, old-growth forests, open prairies, wetlands, shield rock, and luminous skies. Victoria and Glyph began writing together in August 2024 and performing together regularly in September 2025, after years of separate professional music careers. The duo has developed their live show and generated momentum through intimate listening rooms, festival stages, house concerts, and industry showcases. The duo has appeared at JP Music Festival in Boston (2025), and Toronto’s Winterfolk Blues + Roots Festival and Toronto Folk Festival (2026). Their debut singles “Winter Lullaby” and “The Ones Who Are Gone” capture the acoustic realism of sitting in a room with the performers, whose voices move in harmony and counterpoint with Glyph’s lap-style classical guitar. The songs, which explore how we carry the memories of those we have lost, have received airplay on folk and indie radio in Canada, the USA, and Australia. With the support of a FACTOR Artist Development grant the duo has begun production of a full-length album in the same live-off-the-floor format. Doors: 6pm Concert: 6:30-7:30pm All ages welcome. $10-$12 advance / $15 at the door Tickets: https://www.showpass.com/imaginary-expedition-at-burdock-music-hall/

Greek Shabbat by Alissa Kondogiannis

For thousands of years Jewish people have been gathering around the table on Friday nights to celebrate a humble but ancient ritual, the sabbath meal. The lighting of candles, the singing of simple blessings and the breaking of bread have been the unifying thread that has connected Jewish life across centuries and continents. In this multi-dinner series, Alissa Kondogiannis explores Shabbat dinners as they have evolved in Jewish communities around the world. Tonight Alissa celebrates the Romaniote and Sephardic culinary traditions of Greece. For centuries, Greek Jewish families brought together fresh herbs, olive oil, slow-cooked meats and fragrant spices to create a distinctive cuisine. Tonight's Shabbat dinner explores the intersection of Greece's ancient Romaniote Jews, whose roots stretch back more than 2,000 years, and the Sephardic Jews, who arrived following their expulsion from Spain in 1492. Together, their traditions tell the story of Jewish life in Greece through food, family and the Shabbat table. —– Olive & Rosemary Challah Freshly baked Shabbat bread infused with Greek olives and fragrant rosemary, bringing Mediterranean flavours to the traditional Jewish table. Skordalia — Greek Garlic & Potato Dip A creamy, rustic blend of potatoes, garlic, lemon and olive oil. Naturally dairy-free, making it a perfect accompaniment to the traditional Jewish Shabbat meat meal, where meat and dairy are kept separate in accordance with kosher dietary laws. Warm Marinated Olives with Orange & Rosemary Greek olives gently warmed with orange zest, rosemary and garlic, capturing the fragrant flavours of the Mediterranean. Keftes de Prasa — Sephardic Leek Patties Golden, pan-fried leek patties with fresh herbs, inspired by the Sephardic Jewish kitchens of Thessaloniki, where vegetable fritters have long been part of family celebrations and holiday tables. Arnaki Kokkinisto — Slow-Braised Greek Lamb Tender lamb slowly braised in tomatoes, red wine, onions and warm cinnamon, reflecting the rich, aromatic cooking traditions of Greece and the wider Ottoman Mediterranean. – or – Gemista — Rice & Herb Stuffed Vegetables (vegetarian option, by request) Oven-roasted tomatoes and peppers filled with fragrant rice, fresh herbs and olive oil. A beloved Greek preparation also found in the home cooking of Romaniote Jewish families. Gigantes Plaki — Greek Giant Baked Beans Tender giant white beans slowly baked in a rich tomato, onion and olive oil sauce. A rustic Greek comfort dish celebrating the simple ingredients of Mediterranean home cooking. Maroulosalata — Greek Lettuce & Herb Salad Crisp lettuce, scallions and fresh dill tossed with lemon and olive oil. A bright, refreshing salad rooted in Greek home cooking, including the culinary traditions of Ioannina's Romaniote Jewish community. Amygdalota — Greek Almond Cookie Platter Delicate almond cookies served with an assortment of dried fruits, nuts and fragrant tea. A sweet finish inspired by the shared traditions of Greek and Sephardic Mediterranean kitchens. https://thedepanneur.ca/products/supper-club-greek-jewish-shabbat-by-alissa-kondogiannis—– Alissa Kondogiannis runs a small catering company North of Toronto, focusing on Shabbat dinners and Jewish comfort food. She has taught babka and challah classes for years, here at The Depanneur as well as in her Thornhill Community. You can find her online at Barnstar Kitchen. @barnstarkitchen Check out Alissa's amazing Latkes recipe as featured in the award-winning The Depanneur Cookbook —– Every weekend The Depanneur invites an amateur or professional guest chef to host a fun, informal dinner party. @thedepanneur

Imaginal Disk

Truth and Dare : Celebrating the most mind-expanding, form-pushing works emerging from the documentary world with a one-of-a-kind, can’t miss event! In 2024, alt-pop duo Magdalena Bay’s psychedelic synth-pop concept album Imaginal Disk took the internet by storm, ranking highly on several publications' "best of the year" lists. After giving the fans a chance to relish in the album’s mystical sonic universe, the band announced this complete visual album directed by Amanda Kramer: a wizard of artifice, whose film So Unreal screened at Truth and Dare in 2025. Following the character True, an album surrogate whose body rejects the pre-programming of the titular Imaginal Disk, this multimedia visual album spans centuries of human feeling to visually render the album’s themes of individuality and sentience. Kramer’s affection-laden kitsch is a perfect match for the album’s psychedelic introspection, with no shortage of colourful visual experimentation, making this a piece of pure pop excellence. The film will be preceded by the Toronto premiere of Skeptics and Believers , a post-ironic tour de force by Toronto comedy trio The Big Three, co-directed by its three members Sam Burns, Nathan Hare and Ben Stager, as well as Blake Hannahson and Eli Spiegel (the former of which directed the short Tasty Morsels , which screened at Truth and Dare earlier this year). Depicting a fateful day at family-owned bar Dead Prophets, this short is a David Wain-esque rumination on faith with such priceless specificity that you’ll be howling through its many twists and turns. Truth and Dare is thrilled to present this audiovisual vaudeville pair—from alumni directors of the series, no less—so don't miss out on this one-of-a-kind, interactive event, complete with a Q&A with director Amanda Kramer, as well as a live performance from The Big Three. Thank you to community partners Bay Street Video , Insomniac Film Festival , and Letterboxd . TICKETS (+HST) General: $15 Members: $10, $8, FREE

Movie info: It might be November, but it’s still spooky season for us! Messiah of Evil (1973) is a surreal, slow-burn horror film about a young woman who travels to the eerie seaside town of Point Dume, California, searching for her missing artist father. She finds his abandoned home and a disturbing diary warning of strange changes overtaking the town. As she investigates, she encounters increasingly bizarre residents, ritualistic behavior, and a growing sense that something ancient and horrifying is approaching. The film blends occult horror, zombies, and dreamlike imagery into an unsettling story of isolation and creeping doom. This is the perfect movie to help us creep into the darker months.

Ricardo Marinello Opera Gala Recital

THE KING’S GRIEF

the wolves cry, an end foretold In THE KING’S GRIEF, The Happenstancers present Judith Weir’s micro-opera King Harald’s Saga, punctuating Weir's tragic narrative with the music of Thomas Adès, Oliver Knussen, Thierry Tidrow, Mary Dering, John Dowland, and casting the works as incidental music within a larger drama. The contemporary music in this performance features historical allusion and musical quotation, stealing the listener’s sense of chronological location and pulling them between the sounds of the past, present, and some-time else entirely. Music by Judith Weir, John Dowland, Thomas Adès, and more Recognized by The WholeNote Magazine as “the future of chamber music,” and as “Toronto’s chamber supergroup,” by Ludwig Van Toronto, The Happenstancers is a hybrid ensemble for the twenty-first century — part laboratory for experimentation with innovative curatorial techniques and concert forms, and part mixed vocal/instrumental contemporary chamber music ensemble. Tickets — General Admission $35.00 Student Admission $10.00

Bad Waitress with Special Guests

Diles Que No Me Maten with Fresh Snow & ARDO

Red Leather with The Romance

After Hours

Desperate to escape his mind-numbing routine, uptown Manhattan office worker Paul Hackett (Griffin Dunne) ventures downtown for a hookup with a mystery woman (Rosanna Arquette). So begins the wildest night of his life, as bizarre occurrences—involving underground-art punks, a distressed waitress, a crazed Mister Softee truck driver, and a bagel-and-cream-cheese paperweight—pile up with anxiety-inducing relentlessness and thwart his attempts to get home. With this Kafkaesque cult classic, Martin Scorsese—abetted by Michael Ballhaus’s kinetic cinematography and scene-stealing supporting turns by Linda Fiorentino, Teri Garr, Catherine O’Hara, and John Heard—directed a darkly comic tale of mistaken identity, turning the desolate night world of 1980s SoHo into a bohemian wonderland of surreal menace. – The Criterion Collection TICKETS (+HST) General: $15 Members: $10, $8, FREE

Discovering Thai Classics by Piriya Murrell

Thai cooking is all about contrast and harmony, bringing together sweet, sour, salty, spicy, and savoury flavours with fresh aromatics and carefully balanced sauces. In this fun, hands-on workshop you'll learn about the authentic ingredients and techniques behind classic Thai street food dishes that have become favourites on restaurant menus around the world: Pad Thai (Thai-style stir-fried rice noodles), Cha Yen (Thai iced tea), and Khao Niao Mamuang (mango sticky rice). Veteran Thai Chef Piriya Murrell leads this immersive, hands-on cooking class as she walks you through the step-by-step preparation of these classic Thai dishes. You'll enjoy a shared meal, and leave with recipes, new skills, and extra Pad Thai sauce to take home. —– Pad Thai Sauce (ผัดไทย ซ็อต) The key to a great Pad Thai is a richly flavoured, well-balanced sauce that incorporates the essential elements of Thai cooking: sweet, sour, salty, and savoury umami. You'll learn how to work with ingredients like tamarind, fish sauce, sugar, and shallots to build a versatile sauce that you'll use to make your Pad Thai, with extra to take home. (Bring a jar or container!) Pad Thai (Thai-style stir fry noodles) (ผัดไทย) Pad Thai has become one of Thailand’s most beloved and iconic dishes, despite being a relatively recent, 20th century addition to the cuisine. Post-WWII rice shortages led to more noodle dishes on menus, and this local interpretation of an old, Chinese immigrant recipe quickly became a street food staple. This stir-fried rice noodle dish reflects the creativity and adaptability of Thai street food, combining rice noodles with various proteins (meat or vegetarian), fragrant aromatics, spicy chiles, fresh vegetables and herbs, and the nutty crunch of toasted peanuts, all combined strategically with the complex and addictive prepared sauce. Even with its many individual elements, Pad Thai comes together in a matter of minutes once everything is prepared in advance and assembled in order. Timing and sequence are key, so everyone will get a chance to practice while assembling their own dish. *We will use chicken or tofu for non-meat eaters. Cha Yen (Thai iced tea) (ชาเย็น) The bright orange staple of Thai restaurants (mostly outside of Thailand where this version of the drink has taken the strongest hold) reflects a fascinating crossroads of trade and globalization. The Chinese influence of tea and tea culture blends seamlessly with the import of dairy from Europe (sometimes in the form of condensed or evaporated milk, but often with milk or cream) to make a rich, refreshing beverage that pairs wonderfully with the unctuous sauces and spice of Thai dishes. Piriya will demonstrate how to brew and blend this iconic drink at home. Khao Niao Mamuang (mango sticky rice) (ข้าวเหนียวมะม่วง) A traditional Southeast Asian dessert made from sweet glutinous rice, rich coconut milk, and fresh, ripe mango. Due to time constraints we will not be making the dessert from scratch, but it will be served along with the meal, and Piriya will discuss the preparation and answer any questions about the ingredients and process. —- BOOK NOW! – $79 + HST – https://thedepanneur.ca/products/cooking-class-thai-classics-placeholder-title —- Originally from a farming family in rural Thailand, Piriya Murrell has always considered food her language and a way of connecting with others. Her passion for Thai cooking has led her to share her knowledge through hands-on cooking classes here in Ontario. Piriya has spent her career surrounded by food, from owning and operating her own Thai restaurant to managing a bakery for a large food chain. She loves cooking for people and sharing the stories, techniques, and experiences that come with food. Her hands-on classes invite participants to cook alongside her, learning approachable Thai recipes and techniques they can take home and recreate in their own kitchens. She believes that good food doesn't have to be complicated, and that sharing the experience of cooking and eating together is one of the best ways to bring people together. —– Every week, The Depanneur invites Toronto's best culinary talents to lead fun, hands-on workshops. @thedepanneur

John Beasley’s Unlimited Miles: Miles Davis at 100

Under the direction of Grammy Award-winning pianist, composer, and arranger John Beasley, star‑studded musicians Marcus Strickland on saxophone, Sean Jones on trumpet, Ben Williams on bass, and Terreon Gully on drums delve into the visionary spirit and boundless creativity of Miles Davis. A musical shapeshifter with deep jazz roots, Beasley performed with Miles Davis and Freddie Hubbard in his twenties and has since collaborated with Dianne Reeves, Christian McBride, Chaka Khan, A.R. Rahman, Chucho Valdés, and Steely Dan, among others. “Beasley, the one-time keyboardist for Freddie Hubbard and Miles Davis, reflects a variety of generational influences, incorporating the emphatic chordal clusters of Herbie Hancock, the rhythmic quirkiness of Monk and the lush intelligence of Art Tatum into a highly refined personal voice.” ( Los Angeles Times ) After the concert, enjoy a beverage and more music at the Postlude Performance in the Leslie & Anna Dan Galleria. A Centenary of Trane and Miles The Royal Conservatory celebrates 100 years of Miles Davis and John Coltrane with a powerhouse five‑concert series featuring today’s leading jazz innovators.

$25 Adopt-a-thon

The Mississauga Animal Services Shelter is asking residents to help shelter animals find loving homes during their fall Adopt-a-thon. From November 2 to 14, Monday to Saturday, all dogs and cats at the shelter can be adopted for just $25, plus HST and any applicable pet licence fees for Mississauga residents. This reduced rate offers significant savings compared to regular adoption fees, which are typically $280 plus HST for dogs and puppies and up to $190 plus HST for cats and kittens. View pet profiles online. Why adopt from Mississauga Animal Services? When you adopt from the shelter, you give an animal a second chance at a happy life. All cats and dogs available for adoption have received basic medical care, including vaccines and spay or neuter surgery. This can help save you money on the initial costs of pet ownership. If an animal is too young to be spayed or neutered at the time of adoption, adopters will receive a voucher to have the procedure completed at a later date. First‑time pet owners can also get helpful tips from shelter staff on training, food and exercise to make bringing a new pet home easier. Learn more about adopting a pet . This is a multiple day event from Monday to Saturday, November 2 to 14, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
