Flamingo Estate Dinner with Richard Christiansen
We are thrilled to welcome Richard Christiansen—the visionary creative behind the iconic wellness brand Flamingo Estate—for an intimate dinner in The Lago Room at Plaza del Lago, celebrating his brand-new book, Pleasure Principles: An Almanac from the Garden.
The evening is a celebration of seasonal eating and a deeper connection to Mother Nature. Guests will enjoy a multi-course menu inspired directly by the recipes and rituals in the book, highlighting fresh, local ingredients. Richard will help guide guests through the seasonal know-how, rituals, and philosophy throughout the meal.
Your ticket will include the multi-course meal and beverages, a signed copy of Pleasure Principles, and a curated Flamingo Estate gift box.
Pleasure Principles: An Almanac from the Garden is, at its heart, is a book about living a more interesting, exciting life through the things we can make, cook, grow, notice, and do. It is filled with planting and harvesting guides, seasonal recipes, monthly tasks, personal stories, scent explorations, herbal remedies, mythology, and botanical history. It is also a love letter to all the hands who have built the Flamingo Estate garden and orchard. To the people, plants, and animals that have shaped our life on this Los Angeles hillside.
Please note that this is a ticketed event with very limited availability.
