If you choose to ride a bicycle from New York City to Rio in search of the perfect meal a question you need to get used to ansering on your return home is “and what was your favorite meal?” Eating thousands of meals in my two and a half year ride, it’s often hard to pin-point any one meal that blew me away. But one dish that did stand head and shoulders above the others was ceviche.
Ceviche (also spelled cebiche or seviche) is a seafood dish popular in the coastal regions of the Americas, especially Central and South America. The dish is typically made from fresh raw fish marinated in citrus juices and spiced with chilli peppers. Fresh, delicious and easy to prepare and digest, I could not get enough of the fishy citrus combinations I discovered on my journey.
So instead of boring people with its merits with my limited vocabulary, I decided to share this delicious dish with other hungry Londoners. Teaming up with my good friend Carine, whose grandmother ran a hugely successful restaurant in Mexico, we now run a simple Ceviche Supper Club from my home in sunny Tooting, South London. Held in the eclectic confines of 100 Trinity Towers, The Ceviche Super Club aims to showcase the freshest of ceviches, inspired by Tom & Carine’s adventures in the Americas, as well as other Latin classics to warm the cockles and inspire the soul.
