“We feel like we’ve hit the jackpot to finally work with JJ Gonson and the team at Cuisine en Locale (CeL) to host one of their signature ONCE events! Over the past few years we’ve admired this business from afar – cheering for their success and occasionally selling them vegetables. CeL is a local food company based in Somerville that sources exclusively local ingredients. Their inspired chefs create menus and dining experiences that you won’t soon forget. The planning conversation with JJ included questions such as ‘Fire…  what kind of fire can we use to cook foods?’ (Answer: we’ll borrow some charcoal grills) and ‘What is the furthest place on the farm that we could start the meal and then move towards the main course?’ (Answer: the bee hives at the end of the field).  JJ is so well versed in seasonal food that she didn’t need to ask what would be in season, but rather jumped to questions such as ‘Do you have Anise Hyssop and how many stems can we get to use as skewers?'”
