Hi! I’m Jonathan Bardzik, a storyteller, cook and author. I believe that life can and should be filled with joy. I find that joy each day by preparing a simple meal, setting a table, and sharing it with the people I love. And I want to share it with you.
From speaking and cooking with audiences, families and business teams, I have seen how preparing food and sharing our stories spark connection and communication, bringing us closer together..
I am inspired by the fresh, seasonal ingredients I grew up eating from my parents’ garden and find today at local markets. I love cooking with people, both at those farmers’ markets and in the Washington, DC home I share with my husband Jason, which we fill with our friends and family.
