SUPPER CLUB: Sheet Ritu Bhoj — A Bihari Winter Feast by Rashmi Singh

Some of the world's most compelling food traditions exist beyond the spotlight. They travel quietly, carried across continents by families and communities. Preserved through memory, hospitality and repetition, they gather meaning with every shared meal and every recipe passed from one generation to the next. Their stories are written not in headlines, but around dining tables. Laalima, Rashmi Singh's dinner series, exists to explore these stories, and a unique opportunity to try dishes rarely found in Toronto.

This December, Laalima invites guests to explore the food traditions of Bihar through a Sheet Ritu Bhoj, a winter feast rooted in seasonality, community and abundance. Located in eastern India, Bihar is home to a rich culinary heritage that remains largely absent from global dining conversations. Through this dinner, guests will discover how food carries stories of migration, resilience, hospitality and belonging.

In the spirit of a traditional bhoj, guests are invited to eat with their hands, not as a novelty, but as a way of slowing down and connecting more deeply with the meal. Cutlery will, of course, be available for those who prefer it.
