The supper club is an experience I created to share Cuban food with more people. I aim to recreate a homely ambience, where you can not only try real Cuban cuisine in Glasgow, but also enjoy of a different experience to a conventional restaurant.
You will learn about the traditional dishes I offer and the story behind them, based on my personal experiences and popular culture.
Last August, we celebrated the first ever supper club, in Glasgow Southside. We offered home-made Cuban food, with ingredients as close as possible to the original ingredients of traditional Cuban cuisine.
Dinner was served to attendees at a large table where everyone ate together. This feature aimed to match the homely feeling of dinners at Cuban homes. However, we are constantly striving to improve and listening to our guests feedback, so this layout, as well as times and menus could vary in the future.
For instance, our second event featured a different layout with the same intimate and casual experience. Decoration, music and ambience are details I try to pick in function of the occasion.
I try as much as possible to use local ingredients, specially from producers that are close to me or to the venue. I also aim for organic ingredients and products when available, and try to match them as close as possible to those you would find in Cuban cuisine.
Moreover, I love to make things from scratch. For example, I would make my own syrups when preparing cocktails, or my own garlic aioli to drench over delicious plantain tostones.
Check out below how the booking page for our events look like. This one was our second supper club, held at The Skillet | Hyndland St. last 26th November.
I love using traditional Cuban cooking methods such as slow cooking, pressure cooking and marinating meats for hours. Most times I will also make traditional Cuban desserts from scratch. All in all, I prefer to cook most dishes starting with raw ingredients such as dried beans, pulses, sauces, rather than tinned ones.
In general, I strive to improve every time, and keep true to my goal of sharing authentic food from Cuba while enjoying a warm ambience in great company here in Scotland.
