Soto Table is a private culinary service led by Chef Jeannine, creating bespoke dining experiences on California’s Central Coast. Its philosophy, inspired by the Japanese meaning of “soto,” or “outside,” centers on fresh, seasonal cooking and gathering around the table. Menus combine ingredients from local Central Coast farmers’ markets with global flavors, shaped by Chef Jeannine’s 20 years living and cooking in Asia and experience in Michelin-starred kitchens, farm-to-table restaurants, catering, and culinary education.

Soto Table offers customizable private dinners for 2–15 guests, featuring four- to six-course menus, as well as cocktail-style small parties for 10–25 guests. For each event, the team can help plan the menu, shop, cook, and clean up, with an initial consultation to discuss the occasion and guests’ needs. Chef Jeannine also leads private, hands-on cooking classes for groups of 4–12, drawing on more than 10 years of teaching experience. Classes are tailored to each group and include recipes to recreate at home. Experiences can take place in a home, vacation rental, Airbnb, or winery.
