Take it from an Insider

A Q&A with Kat Soderstrom, a TL Insider, on networking opportunities and perfect date nights

Last month, TL Insiders enjoyed a series of terrific events across the city. Hundreds of Torontonians have already joined the program, and you can, too. Members get front-of-the-line access to cultural events and private dining experiences, plus exclusive invitations to Toronto Life’s salon-like discussion series. Membership is just $125 a year (current Toronto Life subscribers can upgrade for only $95). May will be just as busy and exciting, with 13 events lined up already, including Sunday School at Queen West cocktail bar PrettyUgly, an R&D dinner at Canis and a Masterclass with playwright Jordan Tannahill. Don’t miss out. Join the club today!

Here’s a look at just some of the experiences TL Insiders enjoyed in April.

Insiders were among the first to try chef John Horne’s French dishes at the newly opened Maison Selby, the new resident of the 136-year-old C.H. Gooderham House on Sherbourne:

During a hands-on event at Parcheggio, chef Andrew Piccinin taught Insiders how to make their own pasta (which they got to take home) before serving them a meal of his own Italian recipes:

And last—but certainly not least—was Toronto Life’s fifth-annual Best Restaurants event that saw 25 of the city’s best chefs and 1400 hungry people converge upon the Evergreen Brick Works for a night of fun filled with food and drink. Lucky TL Insiders got to bypass the not-insignificant lineup to get in:
