Dinner for One Studio

  • I create custom recipes, content and host events for brands that want guests and audiences to feel seen and have fun.

  • Château Galoupet (LVMH)

    A holiday campaign that put a Cru Classé rosé front and center.

    The brief: Château Galoupet, LVMH's Cru Classé rosé, invited me to lead a multi-part digital holiday campaign.

    The idea: Show the wine the way people actually enjoy it, at the table, with food made to go with it in a digital series for their social media channels and website.

    What I delivered:

    • Three (3) Custom recipes created to pair with the wine

    • Hands-on preparation and styling of every dish for the shoot

    Want a campaign built around your product?

  • Eataly

    "The Art of Cooking for One": a class on shopping and cooking smarter, solo

    The brief: Eataly and I partnered to host a class for people who cook for themselves and want less waste and more variety.

    The idea: Cooking for one is often treated as a chore. This class treats it as a moment of pleasure and care.

    What I delivered:

    • A guided mercato tour teaching participants how to shop for one with minimal waste

    • A hands-on cooking session turning a few ingredients into multiple meals

    Interested in a class or workshop for your audience?

  • Anagram Hotel Munich

    Turning a photography exhibition into a dinner.

    The brief: Anagram Hotel Munich and photographer Alexa von Arnim were opening an exhibition and wanted a dinner to go with it.

    The idea: Instead of just serving food beside the art, I translated the work itself into a menu, using its colors, mood, textures, and visual language as the starting point for each dish.

    What I delivered:

    • A full menu inspired by the exhibition

    • Three (3) courses and 28 guests

    • Collaboration with the photographer to keep the dinner true to her work

    Planning an event around art, a launch, or a space?

  • Planteray

    Why pair wine with dinner and never rum?

    The brief: People pair wine with food without thinking, but rarely rum. Planteray wanted to change that.

    The idea: A toolbox of easy-to-transport ideas that elevate rum tastings when served as snack-style boards at events, plus culinary pairings organized around broad taste profiles that could inspire creative, adaptable meal pairings.

    What I delivered:

    • Custom recipes created for each rum in the range

    • Curated pairings showing how the rums complement a variety of dishes

    Would you like to develop custom recipes and pairings?

  • Bangla Begum

    A story on the page, a dinner on the table.

    The brief: Bangla Begum commissioned me to write a piece of fiction capturing the essence of the brand.

    The idea: Instead of describing the brand, I told a story about it, with food at its center. Then the dishes in the story were brought to life at the brand's atelier, so the fiction became something guests could taste.

    What I delivered:

    • An original piece of fiction written for the brand

    • The dishes from the story, cooked and served at the atelier

    • An experience for the brand's VIP clients.

    Want your brand's story told through a dinner?

  • Paris Food Club

    A monthly subscription I co-founded.

    The story: Paris Food Club is a monthly mail subscription that highlights Paris through food and art. I'm the co-founder, head scribe, and recipe developer.

    The idea: Pair a place, a dish, and an illustration so the subscriber gets a small piece of Paris in their mailbox each month.

    What I do:

    • Develop the recipes

    • Write the copy that accompanies each edition

    • Co-run the project

    Interested in a partnership or a feature?
