Another magical Dinner With Strangers marathon of cooking in the books!
Can’t help but to pour out my whole heart and soul into these cherished moments of offering.
It’s such a privilege, challenge, and delight to fill bellies and warm connection between strangers— with the reminder that any person on this planet might also be a friend. What a wonder to be spinning together here on this sphere, at the same time. A big thank you to Jess Janz for inviting me to support her in hosting and holding space for this incredible event. And, a special shout out to our wonderful sponsors who made the night even more full with community and care @hudsonvalleyfisheries @currentcassis @carneliawine
My intention for the menu was to comfort and intrigue, soothing emotion while bringing curiosity to the senses…
