A sophisticated dining experience crafted with thoughtful and precise cannabis infusions featuring Orchard Cannabis and Token Naturals

Join Mercari at The Depanneur for an elegant infused dinner party with culinary cannabis alchemist Carole Nelson Brown. Carole combines years of catering and recipe development with her deep expertise crafting precise cannabis infusions to create a truly one of a kind culinary experience. Chef Carole will infuse an exquisite, multi-course, Peruvian-inspired menu with a unique blend of terpenes and cannabinoids to enhance and elevate your meal. Sauces and condiments will be infused with precise dosages so every guest is fully in charge of their own experience. Welcome Mocktail Infused Peach Bellini (non-alcoholic) Ceviche Peru is famous for its fresh, bright and exciting ceviches. Fresh raw fish 'cooked' in lime juice, spiked with garlic, onion, chiles and cilantro, served with tender sweet potato and crunchy cancha, a uniquely addictive kind of Peruvian popcorn. [Vegetarian option: Heart of Palm Ceviche] Beet, Orange and Fennel Salad A crispy, colourful composed salad that masterfully combines the deep earthiness of beets with the crispy aromatic of fennel, the sweet juiciness of oranges, and the fresh, peppery bite of arugula, in a luscious citrus vinaigrette. Pollo a la Brasa Peruvian roast chicken is simply next-level; if you have never tried it, it is a total game-changer. It is deeply seasoned with a unique mix of spices, herbs and chiles like here: aji panca, aji amarillo and huacatay, before roasting, and then served with a spectacular, vibrant aji verde sauce that makes for an unforgettable flavour combination. Served with crispy roast potatoes. [Vegetarian option: Seasoned Crispy Tofu with Aji Verde] Alfajores These rich shortbread cookies stuffed with dulce de leche caramel are beloved across South America; Carole's are dipped in dark chocolate for an extra luxurious touch. ----- After a remarkable 40-year career as a professional makeup artist to the stars Carole Nelson Brown embraced a mid-life pivot that took her from famous faces to tantalizing taste buds. Her culinary journey led to recipe development, enchanting chef pop-ups, and sharing culinary wisdom through cooking classes. She currently works in catering and as a private chef. In addition to her work as a private chef and caterer, Carole has spent the last decade developing cannabis-infused gourmet products and teaching others how to cook with precision and purpose. What began as a way to help a family member manage cancer symptoms evolved into a passion for creating delicious, discreet, and microdosed edibles—like her signature vegan, nut-free chilli crisp. Carole was an active part of the founding of Social Sessions, a culinary cannabis project rooted in community, and she continues to explore how food and cannabis can elevate both health and pleasure. @mamashack -----
