Winter seems to have morphed into summer in a mere two weeks and weβre thrilled to say good-bye to our Sorels and winter jackets (at least until December). Weβve been celebrating in our kitchens by developing and tasting new menu items that embody the new season and the months ahead. Weβve come up with new hors dβoeuvre, first courses, mains, stations and desserts and hope youβll be just as excited about them as we are.
Earth Day 2013
Green initiatives lie close to our hearts at Daniel et Daniel and over the years we have been striving to make the footprint of our business as small as possible. For Earth Day we wanted to reflect on some of our sustainability efforts as we feel that committing to environmentally responsible practices is just as important as ensuring great events.

Event in review: Snowball 2013 Chroma at the Mattamy Athletic Centre
On March 23rd, Casey House celebrated their 25th anniversary, marking a quarter of a century of compassionate care for people living with HIV/AIDS. The 300 person event was held at the newly opened Mattamy Athletic Centre at Maple Leaf Gardens where guests dined βon the iceβ within the bounds of the hockey rink. The event dΓ©cor, conceptualized and executed by William Fulghum design Associates, was simply out of this world. Suspended oversized balloons added drama and colourful votives and lighting painted the event space in alternating bright hues.
