harleston Chef Service is an in-home chef-created experience that combines culinary artistry with holistic well-being. Owner Chef Jake White crafts gourmet meals that foster fellowship. His culinary approach, which he calls Farmentation, emphasizes food’s healing and preventive properties and the significance of friendship in nurturing our overall well-being. Farmentation, as he describes it, is essential “because it reconnects us with our origins, like mycelium (the root-like structure of mushrooms) connects plants and trees, fortifying their environment and maintaining ecological balance. Sitting around a table, being mindful and fully present as we eat and share a meal with others – without distractions – is akin to mycelium. It is in our roots – connecting individuals, fostering and sustaining a community.”
The start-to-finish dining experience begins with meeting clients and creating a customized menu based on their preferences and dietary restrictions, incorporating seasonal, locally sourced selections. Curated high-quality menus with Southern, Mediterranean, and Italian influences are cooked and served in your own home. Each dish captures the ingredients’ complex taste and essential nutrients.
Having a stress-free evening is a top priority, everything needed to cook the meal on-site, equipment, and clean up are included in the service.
Chef Jake’s culinary service is about a moment centered around the senses and taste. They draw everyone together in a shared, one-of-a-kind gathering in the privacy of your own home. This intimate setting allows everyone to enjoy each other’s company without interruptions.
His creativity, passion, and the Farmentation concept are all part of this experience. He aims to inspire and excite you by effortlessly incorporating farm-to-table ingredients into your everyday life.
He encourages conversations about the meals and guides you to local agricultural communities to deepen your understanding of seasonal choices. This interconnectivity of food and company stimulates the heart, mind, and palate.
