Hey! I’m Jen Harrison.

I’m a cook, writer, and life enthusiast. I believe in chasing the umami of life. I grew up in rural Northern California, in a little town called Susanville in the middle of nowhere, and have lived in the Bay Area since 2013 (minus a two year stint in San Antonio, Texas, which I absolutely loved). I’ve built a career in hospitality and small business. I’m the former chef-owner of a farm to table catering company, former sales & marketing consultant to restaurants and small businesses, and former full-time luxury wedding planner. These days, I’m enjoying a slower pace, working full-time in food sales, and planning just a few select weddings every year for very particular clients. I’ve intentionally made more time for creative pursuits: writing, cooking, home design, style, and little bits of travel sprinkled in. This is my outlet for sharing all of that. When you’re here, I hope you’re inspired. I hope you learn things. I hope you feel a warm sense of connection to everything delicious. I you, too, feel the umami of life.
