The Garden Table & Fireside Stories: The Joy of Cooking and Gathering, inspired by Julia Child.
Join us for an unforgettable evening of storytelling, connection, and shared dining on Friday, May 15th at 6PM.
The night begins with an intimate fireside chat featuring Julia Child’s niece, Phila Cousins, and her grand-nephew, Alex Prud’homme, who will share personal stories and insights into her lasting culinary legacy.
Afterward, gather on the garden lawn for a coursed, family-style supper with curated cocktail pairings, an experience inspired by Julia Child’s love for food and her joy in bringing people together.
Space is limited for this one-of-a-kind evening under the Santa Barbara starlit sky.
A portion of proceeds will benefit the Santa Barbara Culinary Experience, in partnership with The Julia Child Foundation for Gastronomy and the Culinary Arts. Gratuity is included in the ticket price.
