Do you love cooking and are always looking for an excuse to try out new recipes on others? Would you like to broaden your circle of friends and have some different guests over for dinner for a change? If so, then you may like to try out a concept started in Lausanne in 2013 called Surfing Dinner. Originally designed to for each of the 3 courses to be held at 3 different locations in one evening, the concept has now migrated to one host in one location for the evening.
Explaining the concept to knowitall.ch, Bernat Palou, one of the two organizers, told us, "The idea behind a Surfing Dinner is very simple. Participants are invited to register to cook a meal at least 5 days before the event. The objective is to experience a variety of culinary flavors at a local's place. The host defines everything, including the price (normally between Fr. 20.- and Fr. 40.-/person). To become a host, you need to be validated."
Co-organizer, Cléo Moulin, continued, "The adventure starts at 19h and by the end of the evening you will have met lots of new people, all keen to discover the gastronomic wonders of the area's amateur chefs! Most evenings finish around 23h. From time to time we organize some special events, such as a Dinner Rally, or Best Host meals."
Surfing Dinners are held in the Romandie area. Anyone interested in setting up a Surfing Dinner in their neigborhood should contact Bernat or Cléo. If your town has more than 20,000 inhabitants, then they will be happy to share their experience with you, including access to their brand, website, emailing facilities, facebook page and coaching!
More people are encouraged to sign up to host as there are always loads of participants willing to eat! To find out more information visit the website at www.surfingdinner.com.
