DARN Supper Clubs x The Peligoni Club: Snapshots from Greece
Jumping from one island to the next, in late September we were very kindly invited to Peligoni, a family-run beach club with villas and cottages in the hilltops nearby for two very special food and drawing events. Situated on the island of Zakynthos, Greece it was a pleasure to be a part of their 'House Party' programme!
DARN's very own chef Daniel came away with us to rustle up a very special lunch menu for our first event and a selection of canapes for our more leisurely ‘Draw, eat, repeat’ workshop. Our aim was to introduce new faces to one another in a creative way, which we always find breaks down the ego - especially when it comes to eye gazing and drawing activity in particular. It was so great to watch everyone connect and to hear that some of you felt you couldn't draw...but got stuck in none the less!

We would like to say a MASSIVE thank you to everyone who got involved during our two Supper Club events in Zakynthos. The Peligoni staff were amazing, as was top chef Daniel.
The atmosphere was wonderful the whole time, like a party neverland! We felt immediately welcomed and the landscape was beautifully surreal - volcanic rocks surrounded the edge of the beach club. We picked vibrant flowers growing nearby for our table arrangements and took part in other workshops in the programme when it wasn’t our turn.
For anyone who attended our 'Draw, Eat, Repeat' event at @peligoni, chef Daniel has kindly shared the delicious menu he prepared - some weekday dinner inspiration that tastes like late summer!
1. Sea Bass Carpaccio, Peach, Rock Samphire
2. Roasted Red Grapes, Figs, Goats Cheese, Honey
3. Beet Purée, Pickled and Charred Beets and Carrots, Grilled Flatbreads

Thankyou for having us Peligoni, ‘til next time!
