Some people have a job title…and then there’s everything they actually do. 🤍

This week we’re celebrating a pretty special birthday around LBV—Jordan is officially 18! 🎉
And somehow, he’s already been part of our team for four years strong.

Jordan may technically be our dishwasher, but anyone who spends time in our kitchen knows that description doesn’t come close to covering it.

Yes, he keeps an unbelievable number of dishes clean and organized (and our chefs would be LOST without him 😂), but he’s also the person keeping things stocked, filling the water that keeps our coffee and ice machines running, helping maintain equipment, and jumping into whatever project needs another set of hands.

Patio refresh? Jordan helped.
New shelving? Jordan built it.
Getting the LBV van customized? Jordan was there.
Something around the kitchen needs fixing, organizing, moving or figuring out? There’s a pretty good chance Jordan has had a hand in it.

There are so many people behind the scenes who make it possible for our chefs to do what you see out front—and Jordan is absolutely one of them.

Four years down, officially 18, and so much more than “the dishwasher.”

Help us wish Jordan a very happy 18th birthday! 🎂🎉
We’re pretty lucky to have him. 🤍

Apparently, we make a pretty good date night. 😉🍕🍺

This weekend, the LBV kitchen was all about flour, fire, cold beer, and really good pizza for our Stone-Fire Pizza & Beer Class.

Chef Jered and Chef Jessica had everyone getting hands-on—learning, cooking, laughing, and ultimately sitting down to enjoy the pizzas they created.

And then we woke up to this. 🤍

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
“My wife and I did the pizza making class with Chef Jared and Chef Jess. They were awesome, enthusiastic, and helpful in teaching us how to make pizza that turned out great! 10/10 would recommend, especially for a date night!”

We might be a little biased, so we’ll happily let our guests do the talking. 😊

Our cooking classes are designed to be more than simply learning a recipe. They’re a chance to get out of the house, try something new, learn directly from our chefs, eat something delicious, and actually DO something together.

Date night. Friends night. A group outing. Or just an excuse to learn how to make something you love.

Stone-Fire Pizza will be back—and there are plenty of other experiences happening in the LBV kitchen while you wait. 👀

We turned 10…and then got a little too busy to celebrate. 🥂😂

Last year officially marked 10 years of La Bonne Vie—ten years of cooking, teaching, celebrating, growing, and welcoming so many of you into our kitchen.

There was just one little problem…
We were so busy doing all of those things that we never actually threw the party. 🤦‍♀️

So, better late than never!

✨ La Bonne Vie’s 10-Year Anniversary Celebration & Open House
📅 Saturday, October 3rd from 4pm-7pm

We’re opening our doors and inviting you to come celebrate this milestone with us.

Whether you’ve taken a cooking class, trusted us with a special event, enjoyed meals prepared by our chefs, worked alongside us, followed our journey—or you’ve always wondered what happens inside the LBV kitchen—we’d love to have you.

Come see our space, meet the team, enjoy some delicious bites, and help us finally raise a glass to 10+ years of La Bonne Vie. 🥂

Save the date: October 3.

And since we’re feeling nostalgic…how long have you been following along with LBV? ❤️

Have the dinner party. Skip the part where you spend the whole night in the kitchen. ✨

You choose the people. We’ll take care of the experience.

Imagine gathering your favorite people around the table while your LBV chef prepares dinner, plates each course, and takes care of all those little details that usually keep the host from actually enjoying their own party.

No disappearing into the kitchen between courses.
No worrying whether everything will be ready at the same time.
No realizing halfway through dinner that you never sat down.

Just really good food, your favorite people, and the chance to actually be part of the evening you planned.

From intimate birthdays and anniversaries to dinner parties, celebrations, weekends away and those “we really need to get everyone together” nights, our private chef experiences are designed around your occasion, your guests and your vision.

And with fall dates already filling, now is a very good time to put that group-chat idea on the calendar. 🍂

You bring the guest list. We’ll bring the experience.

Your weeknight dinner could look like this. ✨

Butternut Squash Risotto with Garlic-Roasted Chicken Breast & Seared Asparagus—prepared by Chef Jessica for one of our Weekly Meal Service clients.

Comforting, seasonal, and chef-prepared…on a regular weeknight.

That’s one of our favorite things about Weekly Meal Services at La Bonne Vie. There isn’t a set box of meals everyone receives. Your service is built around you—your tastes, your household, your schedule, and your dietary needs.

Our chefs create customized menus using fresh, seasonal ingredients, so dinner can be something you actually look forward to instead of another decision you have to make at the end of the day.

And if food allergies or dietary restrictions make mealtime more complicated, that’s an area especially close to what we do. Our team specializes in creating beautiful, satisfying meals for clients with needs including gluten-free diets, food allergies and other dietary restrictions.

Because customized shouldn’t mean compromising on the food you get to enjoy.

When your chef spends her Sunday at the farmers market…you know something good is coming. 👀🍅

Chef Jessica made a trip to the farmers market this weekend, gathering a few special ingredients for an upcoming cooking class and Chef’s Table that are particularly close to her heart: Stories of Appalachia.

Jessica wears quite a few hats around the LBV kitchen, but one of our favorite things about her is the story she brings to the food she cooks.

Her grandmother is from Appalachia, and Jessica grew up visiting the region, surrounded by the stories, traditions, ingredients, and little bits of kitchen wisdom that tend to get passed down rather than written down.

Stories of Appalachia gives her a chance to bring some of those memories into our kitchen.
So when she starts talking about an ingredient, there’s usually a story attached. When she teaches a technique, there might be a “my grandmother always…” somewhere in there. And when she creates a menu inspired by Appalachia, it isn’t simply about recreating traditional dishes—it’s about celebrating where they came from while putting a little Chef Jessica (and LBV) into them.

And naturally, that starts with seeing what Kentucky is growing right now. 🌿

We can’t wait to see what she does with this farmers market haul.

Stay tuned…there are more Stories of Appalachia to tell. 🤍

Lexington, this is what a weekend at La Bonne Vie looks like. 🍞✨

Two sold-out-worthy evenings of flour-covered hands, fresh herbs from our garden, plenty of stretching and folding, and the smell of freshly baked focaccia filling the kitchen.

Our Artisanal Sourdough Classes took over LBV this weekend, with Chef Jessica leading Friday night and Chef Jered taking over on Saturday—and both groups were such a joy to have in the kitchen.

Guests headed out to our garden to pick fresh herbs for a dipping oil that may have been one of the surprise favorites of the night, worked through the techniques behind beautiful sourdough, and made focaccia from scratch before gathering around the table to enjoy the results.

And a few of our bakers went home very well equipped. 👀 Our optional Sourdough Pro Kits were packaged up and ready to keep the baking going long after class ended.

This is what we love about cooking classes at LBV. You’re not just following a recipe—you’re getting your hands in it, learning directly from our chefs, asking questions, trying something new, and then sitting down to enjoy what you created.

Missed sourdough this time? Keep an eye out—it’ll be back. 🥖

And if sourdough isn’t your thing, there’s plenty more happening in our kitchen. From date-night-worthy menus and seasonal favorites to baking, international cuisines and hands-on culinary experiences, there’s always something new to cook with us.

If you’ve been looking for a fun cooking class in Lexington, KY, your next night out might just be waiting for you.

Fall plans? Don’t wait too long to make them official. 🍂

Our September and October calendars are already filling up, and we’d hate for you to have the perfect idea for a gathering…only to find out your perfect date is already taken.

Fall is one of our favorite seasons for bringing people together, whether you’re planning:
✨ A Private Cooking Class
🔥 A Chopped Challenge or Team Builder
🍽️ A Private Dinner or Chef’s Table
🥂 A Birthday or Girls’ Night
🍁 A Fall Gathering with Friends
👩‍🍳 A Corporate or Client Experience

From cozy nights in our kitchen to beautifully prepared private events, we’ll help create an experience that feels like you—with plenty of incredible food along the way.

We still have fall dates available, but September and October are booking quickly.

And you don’t need to have every detail figured out before reaching out. If you know you want to gather your people, start with the date. We can help with the rest.

Don’t be the one texting the group chat, “Okay…so they’re already booked that weekend.” 😬
