I’m excited to announce that Epicurely has relaunched as Melba.co, a new site to discover and host the most original dining experiences in town. Feast with your friends and other Melba members at the best supper clubs, pop-up restaurants and creative dining venues.
Social chefs: this is your time to shine! Host feasts for friends or strangers - our platform is designed to provide a unique opportunity to showcase your talents in the kitchen. Whether you love to cook at home with loved ones, are pursuing a restaurant gig, in culinary school, or just want to perfect your cooking skills, Melba.co is your marketplace to connect with like-minded enthusiasts.
Inspired by some of the greatest culinary innovators, (including Ferran Adria), we wanted to create a greater context around food. With our new platform, we aim to push a community of cook enthusiasts forward. We invite you to join us at Melba.co - read our story below.
Conceived by revolutionary French chef Auguste Escoffier in the late 1800’s, the peach melba was highly innovative at the time for its simplicity and elegance. We view the Melba project as bringing a new spirit of innovation to the kitchen, by empowering individuals to express their personality and creativity through their food. Escoffier’s use of food as a social language reigns true to us. We believe that food has a special power to bring people together, and as symbolized by this story, it can become a language for social exchange.
Happy eating,
the Melba team
