What people are saying.

  • Southern hospitality is legendary but we offer nothing better than the lovely evening we just spent with Mary and Jay. Our shared love of people and open hearts made the evening memorable ; OH!…and then there was the food!!! Mary and Jay both went out of their way to host us and we so appreciate all their efforts. Thank you, Mary and Jay!

  • Mary and Jay were wonderful hosts. Mary's cooking is gourmet and clean. Jay's spiritual and health journeys were incredibly inspiring. My spouse and I felt that the evening could not have been better!

  • This was the highlight of our trip. My husband and I had the best time with Jay and Mary. Just like we were visiting long lost friends. Mary prepared a meal that was out of this world. Every bite provides amazing taste. The food was prepared with lots of love and it showed. This is better than any high end restaurant. Next time we come to Sedona, we will do this again.

  • Our group of seven women with varied lifestyles and ways of eating, were all charmed, delighted, and honestly in food ecstasy with this meal and dining experience. It was like a meditation where all the tastes, textures, smells, and sights of each course sang to you. The hosts are kind, loving, and attentive - and they will create a culinary and community experience that fills your senses, your heart, and your belly. We had Mary and Jay come to our airbnb and it set the stage for an extraordinary week together. We only wished we could have had them there every day.

  • Mary and Jay are the most lovely people with the farm fresh food and hospitality that make you want to call AirBnB Support and ask for a “6 stars” option! The farm-to-table food prepared by Mary alone is beyond any fine dining cuisine I have experienced. Her skill is unmatched in the kitchen, blending the art of cooking and the science of baking with creativity and compassion that you can taste in every bits. Jay has the rarest of abilities to weave storytelling and listening with genuine interest, warmth, and wisdom. We learned a great deal about food, life, love, and what it means to find true happiness in the world around us. So skip the restaurant at least one night while in Sedona, and book a seat with Mary and Jay!

  • Our vegan dinner experience was exquisite! First of all, Jay and Mary’s cozy apartment is just amazing. The table is set so beautifully, you feel like you’re at a five star restaurant! The food was positively scrumptious! My boys , 17 and 19 are vegan from birth and I have been vegan for the last 10 years. The food even passed the palate for my picky seventeen year old! He was practically licking the dish after each course! As amazing as the food was - the company was just as fantastic! You can feel the love between Mary and Jay and we thoroughly enjoyed our lively conversations on a variety of life topics. It’s true - you come as strangers, and leave as friends! We can’t wait to see our hosts again, not only for the amazing food but because they are such quality people who I want in my life! ❤️

  • Amazing experience. Jay and Mary are amazing and very thoughtful hosts. For those that are vegan and coming to Sedona, there are not many quality meal options in town, Jay and Mary far exceed the quality of food you can get from a restaurant in Sedona. I highly recommend booking this experience to those that wish to have amazing food here in Sedona !

  • Jay and Mary prepared and presented a truly beautiful and tasty dinner for our group of 16 college students. They created and served it all with their secret ingredient of love. They took great care to make sure we were all accommodated and well fed, engaged, and enjoying our experience. It was a magical event for our group and one that we will long remember! Thank You!

  • Jay and Mary are amazing hosts! The food was incredible, the company even better. They’re so interesting and shared great stories. They’re inspiring, too…life changing. To date, our best Sedona experience. Worth every cent. You won’t be disappointed. Jay says people arrive as strangers and leave friends. So true!

  • The finest dining ever. Meal presentation superb. Chef Mary and host Jay created the perfect 80th birthday for my wife. All was farm fresh and gluten free. A life experience!

  • If you are second-guessing booking this experience, take this as your omen: book it now! Mary is a world-class chef who infuses love and excellence into every dish that she creates. Jay is an incredible host and curator, ensuring the evening is tailored to you. Their home is beautiful and calming. Every ingredient used is farm to table harvested, and the layers of flavor that Mary creates are endless. My fiancé and I loved every bite and found the experience to be far superior to any other 5-star dining experience. This will certainly be the future of going out. Book now before the waiting lists gets too long. Here’s to Jay and Mary! We will be booking again soon and giving this experience as gifts to friends and family.

  • Mary and Jay by far exceeded my expectations. The food was delicious and customized to my needs ( gluten free and vegan ). The presentation was exquisite as well as an ambience of the place. We had wonderful deep conversations that resonated well with all of us. Truly I came as a stranger and left as a friend. This is the experience not to be missed in Sedona. Truly unique and personable.
