Toronto Life Insider: Chef-Led Vegan Dinner

Toronto Life Insider: Exclusive Vegan Dining Experience!

Join us on Monday, November 2 for an intimate Día de los Muertos culinary experience created exclusively for Toronto Life Insiders by Chef in the House.

This one-night-only dinner will celebrate the flavours, traditions and stories of Mexico through food, drink and meaningful cultural traditions - while offering a delicious way to kick off World Vegan Month.

The evening will be led by Chef Miriam Echeverria, whose Mexican heritage and personal connection to Día de los Muertos will bring authenticity and storytelling to the experience. Known for her creative approach to plant-forward Mexican cuisine, Miriam has created an entirely vegan four-course menu that showcases just how rich, vibrant and indulgent plant-based dining can be - from street-food-inspired antojitos and mole negro to corn tamales and a celebratory buñuelo de viento.

Guests will begin the evening by gathering for a special welcome ritual followed by dinner. Each course will be introduced by Chef Miriam and accompanied by thoughtfully paired beverages from Mezcal Agua Santa, Modelo and Le Clos Jordanne.
