LAND AND IT’S KEEPERS
THE HEALING TABLE
with Jo
A private culinary journey celebrating seasonal ingredients, nourishment and the joy of gathering around food.
MEET JO
_________For Jo, food is about far more than what’s on the plate.
It is a way of bringing people together, celebrating nature’s abundance and creating moments of genuine connection around the table.
Drawing inspiration from Costa Rica’s extraordinary landscapes and seasonal ingredients, her approach is rooted in simplicity, generosity and the belief that nourishing food should also be deeply joyful.
Through The Current, Jo invites guests to slow down and experience Costa Rica through its flavours, discovering how thoughtfully prepared food can tell the story of a place every bit as powerfully as its landscapes.
WHY JO
_________Exceptional meals begin long before the first course.
Jo has a remarkable ability to transform beautiful local ingredients into experiences that feel both elegant and deeply comforting. Every menu is shaped by the seasons, the local producers she works with and the guests gathered around the table.
More than a chef, she creates spaces where conversation flows, strangers become friends and every meal feels like a celebration.

It is a reminder that every meal is an opportunity to nourish not only ourselves, but also the landscapes, traditions and people who make it possible.
