Two weeks ago I hosted another Secret Supper pop-up dinner here in the northwest. We held it at
Tumbleweed Farm, a beautiful organic farm at the base of Mount Hood owned by Andrea Beamis of
Dishing Up the Dirt. Co-hosting along with me were my amazing friends and fellow food-lovers
Christiann,
Suzanne, and
Danielle. We had many hands helping in the kitchen to make a huge amount of delicious seasonal foods, and couldn’t have pulled it off without
Jess & Kawika,
Eva, and
Jeremy and Christi. And a huge thanks to Andrea for letting us hosts camp out on her farm. The weather cooperated perfectly, which is always an unknown here in the Pacific northwest this time of year, but we lucked out with sunny skies and a clear view of the mountain. The food, drink, and company were all wonderful; I loved seeing so many of Portland and Seattle’s food lovers and artists come out for the event, and having familiar faces from the last dinner made me especially excited.
I’m hosting another supper in December in conjunction with a 1-day food styling & photography workshop here in the pacific northwest, and would love to have you join. I’ll be teaching the photography portion and the lovely Stacey Clark will be coming out from Australia to teach the styling portion, while Christiann will go over utilizing social media and partnering with brands. We’ll be hosting the workshop on Saturday December 5th on an old Christmas tree farm in a renovated barn in Washougal, Washington. It will be a winter wonderland full of festive food and drink, with a long table gathering nestled under a 20-foot tall Christmas tree. For more information and registration you can peek at the link below, hope to see you there!
And I wanted to say a huge thank you to all of our generous sponsors who made this supper possible, their kindness and passion for what they do makes for the best kind of collaborations possible.
I have the menu for the September supper below, please use it as inspiration for holding your own gathering with family and friends at home. The homemade flatbreads with tzatziki, tomatoes, and
falafel are especially tasty!

Eva! LOVE how moody every bit looks. Absolutely beautiful and I love the set up.
I seriously want to be IN THAT SETTING with y'all…it's breathtaking truly, and what awesome collaborations you guys have! I'm also impressed by the great quality and lighting even when it's so so dark. How did you guys do that? As in, what lens+body+setting did you use?
Fantastic looking photographs!
Looks like the workshop was fabulous judging by the shots you took. I especially like the final bit from the photos, where everyone is at the table at dusk. It has a certain charm to it.
Your event look magical! And the food too
