Submissions for Goldtoast Zine Issue Four

Hi there!

My name is Bree, I run Goldtoast Supper Club – which is pretty much a fun food related way to meet new people. I have created a zine (Goldtoast Zine), to go along with each themed dinner, that I give away to guests who attend the dinner and then upload the digital version of the zine to issuu.com and sell hard copies (just for the price of printing and postage) on etsy.

I am looking for submissions from all my favourites as well as new contributors so please pass this message onto anyone you think would  be interested.

Issue Four: Mexico

So it has been a while between issues but I am happy to say the Goldtoast Zine (as well as Goldtoast Supper Club dinners) will be happening monthly from here on out.
The deadline for the next issue is the 25th May, which is quite soon.
I will be starting to gather work for the June theme in the very near future.
Please email your work to goldtoast.supperclub@gmail.com

Things to remember when Submitting to Goldtoast Zine

• The zine is printed A6, mostly in black and white with a scattering of colour pages.
• Remember themes are always just a basic start point, the further you stretch away the better. Think of the theme as the link that brings  everyones vastly different work together.
• There is a contributors page included so please include the name and website you would like included.
• If your work if chosen, I will give you a copy of the zine to keep.
• If you have any other questions send me an email!
  
  
  
  

EVENT ANNOUNCEMENT: A Mexican Dinner Party

Get yourself fiesta-ready and join us for a Mexican dinner party packed full of colour & flavour! You can bet your burrito there'll be coriander, lime, tequila everything and tacos, tacos, tacos!


Upon arrival you will be welcomed with a complimentary cocktail and spread of nibbles, including my Guacamole (that has been approved by Mexican guests at an exhibition I catered - flattered!). We will be serving up a trio of tacos for entree, a traditional slow cooked dish for main and a contemporary take on the Mexican Chocolate Flan by serving it with Tequila poached pears and a prickly pear sauce. Yeah we're eating cactus! As always, the night will end with coffee but don't fret, there is no need to rush off until you're ready! 


FOOD INTOLERENCES
Due to the awesome fact that corn is so important in Mexican cooking this meal will be gluten free. I will be making corn tortillas by hand using Masa Harina, a corn flour made from dried and ground Masa. Masa is a dough made from corn that has been "boiled and steeped in a solution of lime - calcium hydroxide, that is, not the citrus. The liming process, known as nixtamalisation, changes the nutritive qualities of the corn and alters its flavour" (Gourmet Traveller).
This meal can easily be dairy free also, so if you're that way inclined just let me know :)

We would love to have you there and we really do need your help to spread the word. x

The French Like Their Tea as Well

"While France is well known for its coffee drinking, afternoon tea has long been a social habit of the upper middle class, famously illustrated, for example, by Marcel Proust's novels."

"French people still favour tea mostly in the afternoon. It is often taken in salons de thé. Tea is generally served with some pastries, including a family of not so sweet ones reserved for tea drinking, like the madeleine and the financier."

“I raised to my lips a spoonful of the cake . . .

a shudder ran through my whole body and I stopped,

intent upon the extraordinary changes that were taking place.”

Marcel Proust talking of madeleine's dipped in tea in "À la recherche du temps perdu".

a Chanel extravaganza

I just discovered these images of an amazing set up from a few years back. Imagine throwing a dinner party this extravagant!

"Guests sat at banquet tables, which doubled as a runway, compete with chandeliers, opulent candle-sticks - and a feast fit for a king." Maysa Rawi - Daily Mail, From Bombay to Paris: Chanel stages Indian-inspired fashion show as guests dine on opulent 'runway' feast fit for royalty.  

EVENT ANNOUNCEMENT: brunch

There is such beauty in the techniques of French cookery, from the layering of crisp pastry to  the extravagant sauces. This paired with the formality of a seated brunch and the casual idea of al fresco park dining makes my heart dance. Let's get together and share this delightful and indulgent meal. What better way is there to spend a lazy Sunday? I know where I'll be!

Upon arrival you will receive a glass of champagne. A full brunch spread of sweet and savoury french delicacies will adorn the table, hot dishes will be served through out the meal. Coffee will be plentiful and the meal will end with tea and madeleines. Don't fret, there is no need to rush off until you're ready! 

We would love to have you there and we really do need your help to spread the word. x
