about cocoon

Cocoon was born from a simple truth:
we become more human when we gather to eat.

We don’t do traditional catering.
We design rituals disguised as meals—multi-sensory experiences that awaken memory, spark connection, and invite transformation.

We cook with fire. We listen with our hands.
We tell stories in salt, smoke, and sweetness.

hi, i’m marijke

I’m a food experience designer, a feeler, a storyteller, a deeply sensitive weirdo with a freaky good sense of flavor, and a lifelong believer that dinner can be holy without being boring.

Cocoon started because I was tired of pretending that eating together was just about food. I wanted the kind of table where you could laugh with your mouth full, cry in public, say something weird, and taste something that made you rethink your whole personality.

I’m not here to scale or hustle or impress.
I’m here to create moments. Real ones. Delicious ones. The kind that linger in your body longer than the meal itself.

I design meals for people who are burned out but still believe in beauty.
For the ones who don’t know how to slow down until someone makes them.
For people who are secretly starving for connection but don’t know where to start.

I’ve worked in branding, marketing, cooking, ritual design, and feeding people in backyards, basements, desert mesas, and festival campsites across the country.
Every time, I come back to the same truth:

Food is how I talk to the world.
Cocoon is how I invite you to talk back.

We’ll use our hands.
We’ll play with our food.
We’ll remember that we’re human.

You’re invited.
