"I always found that inviting someone over for a meal—it doesn't necessarily mean you're cooking for them—but sharing meals has always been the easiest way for me to meet people."
Clara Polito
Baker and Cookbook Author
"I like how open cooking is. I can just throw out a couple flavor combinations I’d want and then just kind of work it out. It’s such a functional art."
Kia Damon
Executive Hunty, Lalito
"A lot of people in New York eat while they're walking; eating just to ingest stuff and to go. I've been thinking about how people need food to fuel them in the right ways to get the job done."

"There's something really intimate and special about cooking and sharing food with people and it ends up connecting you with people who are different from you. It's also what brought us together."
