Creating Community, Feeding the Soul

Create a gathering in your home that feeds your soul, deepens your connections with loved ones and leaves you feeling close for years to come. You don’t have to wait for a Big Reason, or feel that you have to do all the work on your own. I can help you with everything, from creating the perfect menu to arranging for your housecleaning afterward.

Once upon a time, “connection” meant kinships, shared bonds with friends and family. Our relationships were forged face-to-face; we spent time with each other. In our technological world, where we “connect” via texting and our “friends” are on Facebook, where we don’t have enough time for ourselves—let alone others—true connection and strong community become rare and hard to nurture.

How can we regain the personal relationships that nurture our spirit and feed our souls? By opening our homes, gathering around the table, and sharing our lives over a marvelous meal.

My passion is to create those gatherings for you, your friends and family.

Hosting a meal that everyone will enjoy, regardless of food preferences or allergies, is only the beginning. I’ll help you in selecting the perfect menu and preparing your home for the event, choosing flowers and linens, selecting pieces from my own collection of vintage silver serving ware, pairing wine with your menu or concocting a specialty cocktail for your gathering. I can provide a talented bartender or even arrange for your house to be cleaned before and after the event. Join me in the kitchen as I prepare your meal and share my recipes. I’ll be there to attend to every detail so you can enjoy your guests and participate in the gathering yourself.

Imagine sitting down with your favorite people, around your own candlelit table, and the magic that can happen when you relax, laugh and connect again.
