My parents immigrated in the mid-1970s and spent four decades feeding people for a living. I've spent the last 25+ years doing the same — because I believe joy shared is joy doubled, and there's no better place to share it than the kitchen.

We're a small, women-owned business, and we don't take for granted the local support that got us here. Ten years into corporate team building and two decades into cooking for this community, we're blessed and grateful to keep serving Silicon Valley and the Bay Area — and excited for what the next decade holds.
Currysutra runs on a small crew who've been with us for years, not months — the same faces your team will see on event day.
We believe the kitchen is the heart of the home — it's where the Heart to Table Foundation gets its name, and the reason we do what we do.
Chef Teena's non-profit soon to partner with local organizations to bring food education and nourishing meals to communities across the Bay Area, extending the same care we bring to every kitchen we work in.
