You’re invited to…
A night to savour our souls
As you may know, it’s been an incredibly tough year for me—and with more challenges on the horizon, it’s been difficult to find those small pockets of light and joy amid the chaos.
Over the past year, I’ve had to rediscover a lot. Unlearn, re-learn—just learn entirely new ways to be. I’ve challenged so much of what I thought I understood, especially about who I am and what home means to me.
Part of starting this supper club is about creating happier memories before I go. The other is practical: I’ve got a lot of food here, ingredients and bits and pieces collected over time. Rather than let them go to waste, I want to turn them into something shared.
The kitchen has always been my sanctuary—my love language expressed through food. Before I leave, I want to open this kitchen up one last time—to cook, to gather, to share meals and moments with the people I love most. I also want to reconnect. With friends. And encourage new faces I haven’t met yet.
This is the heart of the supper club. Hence “Savour Our Souls.”
It’s a bit of a play on SOS—a call for connection, softness, presence. But it’s also exactly what it sounds like: a chance to slow down, to savour. Our food, our conversations, our stories.
And one more thing—
As part of this, I’d love to document it. I’d ask if you can film bits of the cooking, conversations and quiet chaos. I’d love to know how you see me in your eyes—a bit of an homage to the old-school home videos. Not for Instagram perfection, but something human. Something we can look back on and say, “Remember that night?”
Maybe we get to create something a little messy, a little magical, together.
If you’d like to be part of this, I’d love to have you at the table.
With love,
Annie
Celebrating Joy
Why Joy, and Why Now?
As we’ve gotten older—and busier—I’ve noticed something about how we catch up. We gather over dinner, pour a few glasses of wine, and fall into a familiar rhythm: a download of everything that’s been happening in our lives. And while I love hearing about your lives (I truly do), I’ve felt something missing.
It’s a bit like watching someone else build something beautiful on socials rather than building something yourself. We’re catching up on each other’s stories... but we’re not really making new memories together. With all the uncertainty I’ve faced recently, I’ve come to realise just how deeply I want to create more moments of real connection.
The theme for this supper club series is simple: joy.
In moments of deep reflection and longing for connection, I’ve realised that inspiration often returns when joy is present. Not the forced kind—but the joy that lingers in stories, passions, memories, and dreams. The kind that reminds us who we are.
Joy doesn’t just live in the present. It lives in what’s been, and what’s still to come.
Each evening will gently centre on conversations of joy—through conversation prompts woven into the night. Whether it’s a long-held dream, a moment that made you feel alive, or something that still makes you smile—I encourage us to listen, laugh, and celebrate it together.
How it works
I promise not to overwhelm you with rules—but if you’ll bear with me, there are a few things I’d love you to know before we gather.
The guest list
Each supper will bring together a mix of beautiful people. I’ll be curating small groups of up to six people per evening. In some cases, you’ll be welcome to bring a guest—ideally someone I haven’t met before. If you have someone in mind, there’ll be space to mention them in the registration form.
The vibe
Come as you are, and come open. Each evening will centre around joyful conversation—so bring a story, a memory, a dream.
Dietaries
Please no one die in my apartment. Send me your dietaries, including things you don’t like to eat. Yes I can try my best to cater to macros - tell me and I’ll decide whether it’s testing the friendship lol. Nothing worse than food leftover on a dinner table.
The request
This supper club is, at its core, about healing and rediscovery. I’m in the process of figuring out who I am again—and part of that journey is seeing myself through the eyes of the people who love me.
So, as strange as it feels to ask, I invite you to take photos and videos throughout the evening. Even of me (yes, I know I’m notoriously camera shy).
Candid, home-style moments—your honest lens. I want to piece together a new image of myself, and I’d be honoured if you’d help me do that.
The contribution
I’ll ask if you can help cover the cost of ingredients and a few drinks. B.Y.O whatever you like.
Optional
Look, if you feel compelled to help me tidy at the end of the night, I’m not going to say no ha.
I’d love to have you.
If you managed to read all that and still feel like you’d have a good time, I just need a sense of availability and interest so I can put you all into groups.
