Clare views food as a medium for storytelling, where each meal becomes a unique and tactile experience shared among those who consume and converse over it. While in college, Clare began cooking weekly dinners for herself and two friends, desperate to fill the void left by her mother's expertly home-cooked dinners. As months passed, these dinners started hosting more and more people, eventually evolving into a regularly attended 15-person weekly event. It was during this time that Clare realized the powerful ability of cooking to combat loneliness, foster connections, explore and learn about different cultures and histories, and satisfy hunger. This realization has led her on a journey through various professional culinary endeavors, including working in numerous downtown Manhattan restaurant kitchens, collaborating on Shy's Burgers pop-ups, and contributing to the Harapeko catering company. All Clare truly desires is to provide comfort and nourishment to those around her, and she is thrilled to share her boundless exploration and passion with anyone and everyone who's hungry!
