Bringing people together through the joy of dining while supporting charitable causes

At Cooking Cares, our mission is simple: bring people together over delicious, elevated dinners while supporting charitable causes.

We host intimate dinner parties for 6-10 guests, where Chef Ben serves up expertly coursed and themed meals, while Kayla adds the perfect touch of hospitality and ambiance.

The best part? 100% of proceeds after the food costs go directly to charities chosen by our patrons, making sure each dinner leaves a lasting impact on those in need. By sharing our passion for cooking and hosting, we’re creating a space for community, generosity, and change.

Together, we can make a difference – one plate at a time.
