people often ask us if our parents are chefs, if that’s how we both ended up in the industry. while our mom is an amazing home-cook, and our dad an enthusiastic-taster, they are both artists and designers by trade. growing up with their studio as our playground sculpted how we approach our creative food practice today. we love cooking in all spaces, for all types of people, but it is in settings dedicated to art and design that we truly feel at home. as such, it was an extra special honor to return to @feministcenterforcreativework this year to lead the food programming for their annual fundraising benefit (200+ attendees!)

thank you to our incredible team Miguel, Tracey, Eleanor, Isaiah, and Justine ♥️we love you!

thank you to Sarah, Kamala, Rachel, the whole FCCW team and all participating artists and vendors - it was a privilege and an inspiration to work with all of you!
