I’m reaching out to share details of the next installment of the Chef’s Table Series at Shou Sugi Ban House in Water Mill, coming up on November 7 + 8 and featuring Chef Priyanka Naik.

The Chef’s Table at Shou Sugi Ban House is an intimate, multi-course tasting experience held Friday and Saturday evenings. Each menu is unique, inspired by the season, local ingredients, and the chef’s creative vision. Priyanka Naik is a steward of thoughtful, plant-based living; she was a data scientist until she followed an inner calling to explore food as both nourishment and narrative. An award-winning eco-conscious chef and Food Network champion, Priyanka brings intention, joy, and cultural reverence to every dish she creates. She is the author of The Modern Tiffin, host, TEDx speaker, and a voice for mindful cooking as the “Ecokitchen” columnist for The Washington Post.

Inspired by Japanese principles of wabi-sabi and a spirit of openness and exploration, Shou Sugi Ban House offers spa, healing arts, nutrition, fitness and complete wellness experiences in a holistic, educational setting. The first and only wellness-forward destination in the Hamptons, Shou Sugi Ban House was conceived as a sanctuary for quiet transformation. The architecture and landscape design reflect this ethos, drawing inspiration from traditional Japanese principles to create a harmonious, understated, and deeply restorative environment. At Shou Sugi Ban House, each spa treatment is a curated journey designed to harmonize body and mind, drawing on the healing powers of the ocean, local pine forests, and indigenous herbs. Offerings include therapeutic massages such as Swedish, deep tissue, lymphatic, sports, and prenatal, transformative body rituals like the Fire Within exfoliation, and deeply nourishing facials featuring Gua Sha, facial cupping, and warming mushroom stones. Every experience is tailored to renew, restore, and leave you feeling fully rejuvenated.

Please let me know if you have any questions! Details of additional installments in the series are coming soon, with exciting chefs heading out east!
