Celebrate a holiday in Joshua Tree with a curated food experience + enjoy a seven-hour dinner party with never-ending food + quality time with the ones you love.
This Thanksgiving, Chef Lisa joined a lovely family in Joshua Tree for their holiday reunion. The warmth of this group, paired with Chef Lisa’s Paella menu, created a beautiful + leisurely dining experience for all.
The evening began with an exquisite Joshua Tree sunset. As the wine was poured, a colorful vegetable crudités + appetizer platter was served, igniting appetites + meaningful conversation.
The family continued to relax as Chef Lisa prepared the main course, a seafood Paella that would take guests’ palates to Spain.
With the aroma of Paella filling the home, guests made their way to the beautiful desert chic tablescape, accented with freshly picked rosemary, for their family-style dinner. A perfect setting for authentic Spanish cuisine, Mediterranean sides + family laughter over dad’s spot-on impersonations.
After a delicious meal, the family settled in for the evening + observed the remarkable Joshua Tree night sky. As Chef Lisa knows, nothing goes better with stargazing than a cheese and chocolate board featuring a family favorite, Taza Chocolate!
