1. COOK YOUR OWN NURTURE STORY

This is the ideal gift for when you or someone you care about has a special milestone coming up and you wish to honour that through the ritual and magic of intentional food and togetherness. Here, I design you a custom menu telling that story for you to prepare at home. You do the cooking, but I’ll be by your side to support you virtually throughout. Menus are designed to meet you at the level of cooking you feel comfortable with.

THIS PACKAGE INCLUDES:

• Bespoke menu design for one meal for 2-12 guests (custom cocktail, hors d’ouevre, main and sides, dessert, optional wine pairing)
