Her journey through illness deepened her belief that every meal and moment together truly matters.

Suzanne’s passion for seasonal ingredients and artisan techniques brings a unique touch to every Cranberry & Rose class and menu. Jackie Tulis keeps daily operations running smoothly as the main contact for clients and collaborators. Jackie also runs the crafts department. Together, the team creates an environment that feels like an extension of home: always warm, always welcoming, and always ready to help you make lasting memories.
