A Passport to Culinary Adventure In Napa Valley:
Cindy’s Supper Club Announces Upcoming Ports of Call
Acclaimed Chef Cindy Pawlcyn introduces Spring and Summer menus for her legendary Supper Club, held every Wednesday at Cindy’s Backstreet Kitchen in downtown St. Helena. Inspired by the rich culinary traditions of various cultures both around the world and here at home, Pawlcyn creates a delicious feast each week that showcases her exuberant love for food and travel. Patrons should prepare for an unforgettable dining experience as they sample the edible delights of Peru, Northern Mexico’s pacific coast, the Greek Isles, and a “Northern Lights” extravaganza featuring the delicacies of Denmark, Finland, and Norway. Drawing on her flawless culinary instincts, a 6,000-volume cookbook collection, and requests from fans, Pawlcyn takes diners along for the ride as she travels the globe on the backstreets of Napa Valley. Executive Chef Pablo Jacinto and his staff also bring their cultural heritage and travel experiences to the table, providing ideas for the weekly themes.
The Supper Club menus have showcased seasonal dishes from Pawlcyn’s travels to Spain, Iran, France, New Zealand, Peru, and Vietnam, to name just a few. Each week she invites diners to join her on a new culinary adventure, all the while honoring the rich farm-to-table-tradition that defines Northern California cuisine. With the freshest ingredients sourced from local artisan producers and her very own organic garden, Pawlcyn gives her patrons a chance to explore new cultures through the sensory pleasure of food.
