Into The Wild

The launch of Heirloom Fire was a dinner in partnership with Magdalena Events and Design, set in the middle of a farm, in the heat of the summer. To this day that is one of my favorite events we have done. Granted, there were many elements of that night that we could never replicate even if we tried, and mother nature seemed to be pulling for us. The dinner took place in the fields of Taft Farms, located in The Berkshires. The menu consisted of dishes crafted from what was av

Will You Marry Me?

I have been to many a wedding, as you would imagine. The feeling of magic, love and happiness is so real in the air that you can feel it throughout your body. That feeling is always there for me because we get to know each client, seeing them at their excited stage, nervous stage, shut down stage and finally their epically ecstatic stage. We literally watch and help make this rainbow effect of emotion happen. I love it, every time. Something new to me that made the hair stand

What We Did

I am sure that most of us have dreamed about escaping from a crazy week to a small cabin or cottage (some of us may actually have one or the other). Growing up in The Berkshires, one always hears stories about the famed “Berkshire Cottages”. For those of you who don’t know what the cottages were/are, they are far from a shack in the woods. A brief history… During America’s Gilded Age (1865 to 1901) saw unprecedented economic and industrial prosperity. The result of this prosp

You Did What In The City?

Any opportunity I get to share the food culture, nature and what we do in The Berkshires with people I jump at it. City Plate asked if Heirloom Fire would come to Hub Seventeen (An events and community space in the Lululemon Flatiron Location) in New York City and put together a Dinner in honor of Men's Fashion Week. The guests for the dinner would be 30 influencers in mens fashion and to open the floor to discussion. Well, if you know me at all, you know I love to cook and h

Wedding Planning: They Proposed, Now What?

Okay - It’s been months of that knot in your stomach about traveling upstate for Thanksgiving to finally meet the 2 people who created this amazing person that you fell head over heels for - The time is now. Not only are you meeting the parents (da da dunnnn) but the WHOLE family. Gulp. Are you ready? A gentle knock on the door leads to many warm smiling faces and the day swiftly moves forward. At the end, it wasn’t so bad, right? The dad was lovable, the mom reminds you a bi

Autumn in New York State

Last weekend, this was the backdrop for Heirloom Fire; What an amazing space to work in. We were asked to come and cook at Hiddenhurst Farm in upstate New York. Once we began looking at potential sites to set up the event we fell immediately in love with the family orchard. This had to be it: I mean, what else could possibly sum up a party in autumn in New York other than a party focused on apples? A big part of an Heirloom Fire party is the cocktails that begin the event. Fo

Summer Farm Supper

Supporting local farms has been something that has become increasingly popular as the years pass, which is funny considering it wasnt always a choice, it's just what had to be done. Today, we live in a world where (for the most part) we can satisfy our craving for just about any food regardless of the season or the distance. However, I don’t know if satisfy is the correct term here. Tell me, when was the last time you sawed into a tomato with its pale, light pink colored fles
