The Story Behind One and Done
A “one and done” evening started years ago in the small town of Harrisonburg, Virginia, where Cookie and a group of close friends gathered around the table for memorable dinners.
The food mattered, of course. But the best part was always what happened around it — conversation, laughter, and time spent with people you wanted to be with.
That spirit eventually became One and Done with Cookie: private chef dinners and catered gatherings designed so the host can enjoy the party just as much as the guests.
Exceptional food. Good company. One memorable evening.
