Some of the best conversations happen around a table 🌮

We invited to chat about Day of the Dead through a core element of the celebration, food.

Food has the power to bring back and create memories. A smell, a flavour, a recipe passed down and suddenly someone is back at the table with us. We made the Jalapeño Green Goddess dressing to be shared, enjoyed and talked about, and that’s what Día de los Mu***os is all about 🧡💚

Ofrendas, the heart of Day of the Dead 🕯️

They are an alter of colour, meaning and memories, built to bridge the gap between the living and the spirit world.

With every element being there for a purpose, the ofrendas welcomes home our loved ones who have passed 🌼
