Since hanging up our chef jackets, we no longer exist in a single physical space. Instead, our work takes us around the globe, collecting and curating stories of how tables change lives and help build community. In our work, we've had a lot of experience with tables, setting our own and for others. You're invited on our journey and invited to peek at our past work and see how far we've come these past 14 years.
Zoe-Ann delivered a TEDx Talk in Zimbabwe, Africa, and to the United Nations in New York to international audiences, sharing the framework that emerged from her years of research. While at the United Nations, she was honored with The President's Lifetime Achievement Award which even appeared on Times Square.
Our primary mission became focused on collecting and curating stories from around the table - the heart and soul of our new focus.
As 2016 emerged, we bid farewell to our beloved brick-and-mortar studio. With our lease at its end, it became apparent that it was time to embrace a new course forward.
In a delightful pop, we introduced our very own branded sparkling wine to our repertoire. Considering our penchant for serving bubbles aplenty, it only seemed fitting!
Exploring culinary delights and seasonal specialties, our offerings evolved to encompass a range of immersive experiences:
Culinary Tours Abroad: We embarked on globetrotting adventures to breathtaking destinations, visiting producers at the source to immerse in authentic culinary experiences in Sicily, Cuba, Tuscany, and France.
Distinctive Signature Table Experiences were introduced, leveraging our creativity to showcase the finest flavors of the Pacific Northwest in captivating venues across the region. Additionally, we broadened our services to encompass catering, enhancing our commitment to culinary excellence.
By merging a former art gallery with a vacant toy store, we were able to build an intimate food and wine studio. This innovative space served as a hub for cooking classes, featured guest chef and author appearances, special events, and a carefully curated selection of provisions and fine wines.
Intentional Table was founded with a resolute vision deeply rooted in French culinary philosophy. We started with a blog and small events, devoting ourselves exclusively to amplifying the core value of respecting the earth, animals, and the diligent work of farmers and small producers.
