I’m so glad you’re here. I’m Kristen, founder of the Fat Hen LLC. In the spring of 2026, I turned my lifelong passion for entertaining into something I could share with others. My love for gathering people around good food began in childhood- making pasta in my Nonna’s kitchen, picking vegetables from my grandfather’s garden, fishing with my father, and learning to bake from my mother. Those early experiences instilled in me an appreciation of simple meaningful moments and the joy they bring. After stepping away from a career in design, I set out to blend my artistic background with my love of food. Today I create thoughtfully curated experiences, that transform everyday gatherings into something truly special. Whether it’s an intimate weekend dinner with friends or an unforgettable wedding, I’m here to bring your vision to life with warmth, creativity, and care.
