Gather

meet ella

Ella founded Gather in 2020 with a mission to break down cultural barriers and bring people together over the simple, powerful act of sharing a meal. Initially created to raise funds for charities, Gather has since become a platform for chefs from diverse backgrounds to showcase their culinary stories. Ella’s vision of connecting people around the table has fostered a socially conscious community focused on inclusion and cultural exchange.

By celebrating traditional family recipes, ancient cooking techniques, and innovative dishes, Ella and Gather challenge culinary norms and redefine what constitutes "everyday food." Each event invites new perspectives, challenges assumptions, and strengthens community bonds through the stories shared with every meal.

concept

We work closely with each creative cook to design an event that reflects their unique style and culinary vision. Once we agree on a theme, Gather finds the perfect space and creative touches to enhance the experience. Our events are intimate, usually centered around one long communal table, encouraging guests to connect. We also support causes that matter to our cooks, whether it’s raising awareness, inspiring action, or supporting donations to their chosen charities. Every Gather event is a true collaboration, designed to bring people together over an unforgettable culinary experience.

Upcoming Events

mission

Gather hosts thoughtfully curated events that champion diversity in the culinary world.

We highlight the stories, recipes, and experiences that often go unnoticed, challenging the norms of everyday food to inspire a new appreciation for different cultures. Collaboration is at the core of what we do, and every Gather event brings people together to foster connection, spark conversations, and encourage a deeper understanding of one another’s culinary traditions.

vision

Our vision is to bring fresh energy to the culinary world by:

Celebrating food as a vehicle for storytelling and cultural exchange
Elevating the voices of underrepresented creative cooks and home-grown talents
Shaking up the everyday food experience by introducing new flavors, cooking techniques, and traditions to a wider audience
Encouraging inclusivity and connection within our community through the universal love of food
