Blue Blossom Catering: A Grateful Dead Harvest Menu

Featured in Sonoma Magazine!

I’m beyond thrilled to share that the September edition of Sonoma Magazine includes a four-page feature on me, my story, and a menu that’s especially close to my heart.

The article highlights a Grateful Dead–inspired menu I created—dishes that celebrate both my love of cooking and the music that has been such a meaningful part of my life. As the daughter of Grateful Dead lyricist Robert Hunter, I grew up surrounded by the rhythms, words, and spirit of creativity that the band embodied. It feels natural to carry that legacy into my work as a chef, blending flavors and storytelling into experiences that nourish both body and soul.

My Culinary Journey

In the piece, I talk about my journey—from growing up in a household filled with music and poetry to building Blue Blossom Catering here in Sonoma County. I’ve always believed that food is a universal language. It connects us, much like the songs that resonate with our hearts.

Inspiration from the Grateful Dead

Finding ways to weave inspiration from the Dead’s timeless songs into the menus I create has been a joy. Think vibrant, colorful, playful food with soul—food that, much like the music, is meant to bring people together. Each dish tells a story, inviting diners to experience a piece of my journey.

A Menu to Remember

The Grateful Dead Harvest Menu features dishes that are not only delicious but also evoke memories and emotions. I strive to create meals that reflect the spirit of the music I love. Each ingredient is thoughtfully chosen, ensuring that every bite is a celebration of flavor and creativity.

The Importance of Community

This feature is an incredible honor, and I’m so grateful to Sonoma Magazine for sharing my story. Community is at the heart of what I do. I believe that food brings people together, fostering connections and creating lasting memories.

If you’re local, I hope you’ll pick up a copy and check it out. And if we haven’t cooked together yet, I’d love to bring some of that magic—part music, part memory, part flavor—to your table.
