I’ve been really looking forward to sharing this one.

On June 4, I’m hosting a very intimate Truffle Supper Club evening in Toronto inspired by spring in Istria—one of Europe’s most quietly extraordinary food regions.

This is a one-night-only, limited-seating experience inside the private event space at Summerhill Market.

And if you know my events, you already know—these evenings don’t stay open for long.

There are dinners… and then there are nights people remember long after they end.

This is one of those.

Think:
fresh black truffles shaved over risotto at the table,
seasonal dishes inspired by spring in Istria,
shared plates, flowing wine,
and a long table that slowly turns into something warm, social, and alive.

It’s not formal. It’s not rushed.
It just unfolds beautifully.

Istria is where this is inspired from—wild truffle forests, mineral-rich soil, exceptional olive oil, indigenous wines, and a culture where hospitality means you are always looked after, and there is always more than enough at the table.

That’s the feeling I’m bringing into this evening.

I’ll be hosting alongside Chef Petar Budisa, and together we’re creating a fun, interactive shared-table experience built around truffles, seasonal dishes, and that easy energy that happens when people truly settle in together.

If you know me, you know this—
you’ll leave well fed, well looked after, and very happy you came.

That’s Istrian hospitality at its finest.

✨ June 4 • Toronto
📍 Summerhill Market Private Event Space
🍽 Very limited seating

I’d love to have you there.

At Root44, we believe your weekend deserves a touch of Istrian soul.

We love sharing those rare, “no-fuss” recipes that feel like a five-star meal but come together in minutes.

This weekend, we’re bringing a classic pasta dish from the heart of Croatia’s truffle region straight into your kitchen.

It’s simple, it’s decadent, and we promise you’ll be sooo happy you tried it.

Warning: This creamy Pljukanci with our Pietro & Pietro Tartufata is about to become your new family favorite.

No-Fuss PLJUKANCI:
1. The Pasta: Mix 300g flour, salt, and 180ml hot water. Hand-roll into small spindles (Pljukanci). Boil until they float.

No-Fuss Black Truffle Sauce:
The Velvet: Whisk a k**b of butter and 1 tbsp flour.
Add warm pasta water until silky.
The Infusion: OFF the heat, fold in 2–3 tbsp of Pietro & Pietro Tartufata.
Incorporate: Toss your pasta until every ridge is coated.

Make it a weekend to remember. Shop the collection at the link in our bio! ❤️

ROOT44 Truffle Caesar
A no-fuss truffle Canadian classic — perfect for patio season!

What You’ll Need (Serves 4):
