Hilary Mace opened The Art of Ceremonial Cooking in May in Mount Gretna. She creates a unique kind of dining experience for clients on location, as well as ceremonial cooking classes. She says, “Whether you seek to deepen your relationship with food, honor ancient traditions or embark on a journey of self-discovery, The Art of Ceremonial Cooking offers a seat at the table for all who dare to dream of a culinary revolution.”

Mace’s culinary experience began in New York City’s top restaurants after graduating from The Institute of Culinary Education, then led to a 1,400-acre farm in Vermont where her passion for farm-to-table cooking took root. Each of her unique dining experiences are congregations in reverence for the Earth and the incredible bounty she provides us.

Offerings include unique customized dinner celebrations; thoughtful menu planning, culinary rituals, interactive demonstrations, creative presentation and culinary exploration at special occasions and group retreats; as well as in-depth classes that include symbolism of food, artful storytelling and celebration of the richness and diversity of human experiences through the universal language of food.
