Join us for the next installment of our Jain Dinner Series, an ongoing exploration of a culinary tradition that transforms restraint into creativity.
Served family-style, the evening features a multi-course menu inspired by the principles of Jain cuisine, which emphasizes seasonality, mindfulness, and a deep respect for ingredients. Rather than treating these guidelines as limitations, Chef Juan Pajarito and the Avant Garden team use them as a creative framework, resulting in dishes that are both inventive and deeply satisfying.
