Invite your family’s cook — Nonna, Abuela, Baba, Dad, or Auntie — to lead the kitchen as our guest Chef Instructor. We source the ingredients, prep the kitchen, and serve lunch while they share your heirloom recipe. Gather around the communal table for stories, flavors, and optional keepsakes like photography or custom recipe packets. Perfect for birthdays, anniversaries, or celebrating the legacy of loved ones whose recipes continue to inspire.
