Be still, my heart… pandan is alive and well in sunny San Diego at Ong Nursery in Linda Vista! I haven’t seen fresh leaves since February, so this was a find for sure. I cannot wait to get these leaves growing! 💚🌱 taken in Ong Nursery by @chinitaspies

Meet Chef Christina🌺
One of five incredible chefs joining us for our Luau Fundraiser! We’re so excited to have her bring her passion for seasonal, nourishing food to this unique culinary experience.

🎟️ Grab your ticket through the link in our bio.

A San Diego transplant by way of San Francisco, Christina is a personal chef and food educator rooted in supporting local farms and California growers at every meal served. A graduate of University of California, Davis, in the area of Food Science, Christina has worked in various arenas of the food service industry including grocery, catering, hospitality, and corporate kitchen positions, and today she draws on all of those experiences to drive her events and classes across San Diego County.

We are so excited to co-create this year’s luau experience with Christina, bringing our guests on a unique culinary journey inspired by the land, the season, and the vibrant flavors of Hawaiʻi. Together, we’ll celebrate food as a way to connect, nourish, and gather in community all while supporting Shine’s mission through our annual fundraiser. taken in San Diego, California by @chinitaspies

The love for ceramics, food, community and the art of plating homemade food on handmade ceramics led to this collaborative class with @chinitaspies at @ucsdcraftcenter 🍜

This is a special offering this fall, we will gather the first session to make noodle bowls of choice (demos for different kinds of bowls will be given!). We will return the next session to trim and decorate our pieces. After a firing break week, we’ll meet in the kitchen for a class led by @chinitaspies to make noodles! Imagine a noodle bar here and multiple iterations.

Registerations are open for this class on @ucsdcraftcenter website under ceramic studio! This class is limited to 8 students at a time only.

If you love clay, food, and community that gathers around a table, we would love to have you experience this with us.

There’s something special about enjoying a meal from a bowl you’ve made with your own hands, and this workshop is a celebration of that experience.

Schedule:
Class 01: Tue, Sep 29 2026 (2-5pm)
Class 02: Tue, Oct 06 2026 (2-5pm)
Class 03: Tue, Oct 20 2026 (2-3:30pm)

First ever Minnesota mini melon grown from @botanical_interests seed! Glad something took this crazy humidity, and ran with it! The aroma was one for the books 🍈🧡 #melon #backyardgarden taken in El Cajon, California by @chinitaspies

Moments from our 2-week ‘Summer Bowls & Seasonal Salads’ workshop that we wrapped up today! 🥗🫜We slab-built salad bowls in our first week and then returned to make salad, plate it and eat out of handmade bowls! It was my first collaborative workshop with Chef Christina (@chinitaspies , berrygoodfoodfdn) at @ucsdcraftcenter and it really was so much fun! Christina brought all the fresh produce and took over the kitchen next to @ucsdcraftcenter this afternoon for a delicious Salad Making session!

We’re excited about more such workshops in the upcoming quarter!!

After all, what’s better better than handmade vessels, fresh prepared food and the joy to share a meal together?

Thankyou to those who joined and helped make it a success, here’s to more collaborative workshops!

2 days. Farms come first. Without our farms, we don’t have food. We’re building a model for how restaurants and farms can work together the right way. And you have a seat at the table.

Get notified as soon as we launch - thegoodfoodmovement.com - and join the movement!
