in the kitchen

  • JennyBess Chaim

    Formerly a corporate attorney with Latham & Watkins LLP, JB left her law practice on a path of entrepreneurship, especially rooted in food. JB fundamentally believes that we can change the world by gathering people around tables over comfort food. Her travels led her to work on an organic Occitan vineyard run by generations of female vintners in the southwest of France, where she worked in wine production, sales, and the culinary program. More recently, JB (a self-described conscious omnivore) has run the Santosha kitchen in Maine, focusing on seasonal, local ingredients from the Maine coast. At Winter’s Table, JB designs an ever-changing menu that combines her two sweet spots, rooted in her heritage and travels: (1) Scandinavian comfort foods, focused on foraging, curing, and wintry fare, and (2) Mediterranean home cooking, rooted heavily in Middle Eastern techniques and spice profiles. Dining at Winter’s Table is a joyful experience in jammy connectedness: JB is deeply honored to nourish you at our tables.
