Farm-to-table dinners
A long table at a partner farm or vineyard. The chef sources within ten miles, the menu reads like a love letter to the season, and a farmer joins for dessert.
Experiences
Beyond the table.
Cooking classes, farm dinners, brand activations, retreats — gatherings hosted by Lighthearted Kitchen chefs, all built on the same standard.
What we host
Four formats. Endless variations.
Every experience is built with one of our vetted chefs and tailored to the room. Below are the most-requested formats — but we'll dream up something else if it serves the gathering.
Cooking classes
Hands-on, small-group classes in your home or a private studio. Built around a single seasonal technique — fermenting, fire-cooking, fresh pasta, sauces from scratch.
Brand activations
For brands building experiences instead of campaigns — chef-led press dinners, founder retreats, in-store tastings, content shoots. We staff, source, and style.
Retreats & weekends
Multi-day food-led retreats — a chef cooking three meals a day, an itinerary built around farms and foragers, a small group eating better than they have all year.
