Tablenosh: Cocktails, Canapes and Cake...April 30th!

What is Tablenosh?

Tablenosh has grown out of my desire to bring people together around food while growing my culinary skills. It was inspired by the 'underground' restaurant movement that is happening around the world.

My initial concept for 'tablenosh' was a group of people coming together around a table to enjoy an evening of good food and company in a humble and cozy setting. My vision being that 'tablenosh' would not only whet the appetite, but will truly delight the soul as one engages in community around the table.

Although this blog initially focused on sharing the stories, menus and fun of 'tablenosh' dinner parties & events it has transitioned into the place where I continue to share my food journey, ideas, recipes, hopes, dreams and passions of food & people. It is certainly my hope the 'tablenosh' dinners will eventually reignite here in RVA - or possible a little underground morning side-porch cafe of some sort...I will keep you posted.

Cocktails, Canapes and Cake...April 30th!

Posted by Leila Nelson Gunning

It's time to Celebrate ONE Year of Tablenosh! Come join the 'Cocktails, Canapés and Cake' Party on April 30th.

It is hard to believe it has already been a year of my 'underground' restaurant journey...a great year of gathering people around my table to enjoy different foods (I can hardly believe I really did it!). I am not quite sure what this year is going to bring but I have a few ideas! I hope April 30th will re-energize me for another year another fun 'tablenosh' experience in itself.

I seem to be on a major cake kick this year, so I thought why not bake up a few more cakes for my tablenosh one year birthday! Everyone loves cake...right? I am envisioning 3 cakes, one carrot cake w/cream cheese frosting, one chocolate cake w/mocha mousse filling and a citrus cake with passion fruit custard and lemon buttercream icing...yummmmmmmy!
