We started Around the Table Events with one formula in mind...
GOOD PEOPLE + GOOD FOOD = PURE JOY
Hi I'm Jenny,
Gathering around a table is sacred to me. Being Italian, I come from a long line of people who find solace in the kitchen. And more than that, in feeding people.
I didn’t come by it naturally as most in my family do. Mine was a slow, simmering passion that intensified over time. It started by feeding young kids in the inner city of Miami every week for 2 years, 25-30 each time. They loved being in our home, sitting around our table. Then I started cooking for college teams where my husband was the chaplain. These were hungry folks who appreciated a home-cooked meal. Each gathering revealed how much I thrived in congregating communities around delicious food and good connection.
And then, as the story goes, it became more than just a hobby, It became a calling, something I believe I was created to do. ​


Hi I'm Pia,
I’m Peruvian, grew up in Mexico, and I'm married to a wonderful Turkish man. I've always been an excellent eater. I grew up watching my mom, who was an excellent cook. We loved gathering people and there was always an open seat at the table in our home for the unexpected guest.
​
Sitting on the porch over a glass of wine, while sharing and laughing, a partnership started with Jenny. We thoroughly enjoy cooking together. We can’t believe that we get to do this for a living.
I love seeing the joy that comes from bringing people together at the table. ​
