Our Story.
Salt + Cinnamon is a collective formed as a creative outlet to share with friends. We thought...well...what better way to bring people together than with something as fundamental as food? With that in mind, we set forth to create a place to share our food experiments as well as gain new experiences, lasting memories, and relationships through each new seasonal concoction, collaboration and event. Through our friendships, planned spontaneity, and love for food and travel, we want to share our passion to inspire your world gastronomically.
About me
Caitlin.
Creative. Adventurer. story-teller.
Hi! My name is Caitlin and creating new and exciting food makes me happy. I am a molecular biologist by training who found a love for cooking/baking while helping my parents bake and cook for parties and family gatherings. Learning about different cultures (and just learning in general!), traveling, and collaborating with people and creating stories through the outlet of food and design has always been my source of inspiration for creating S + C. I love bringing people together with new foodie experiences where strangers become friends sharing stories and seasonally-inspired dishes. I am working on putting together different types of conceptual farm-to-table pop-up dinners to bring communities together as well as experimenting on seasonal comfort foods with a healthy twist.
