Hello my lovely friends, 

When I first launched Hidden Dinner in The OC, I just wanted to cook and create awesome dishes for my foodie friends.

Each event was centered around a theme that was inspired by the menu.

For our Guests, Hidden Dinner was all about the gourmet dishes and unique experiences. 

But I recognized something much deeper … 

While watching everyone enjoy their food, I was mesmerized by the growing connections and conversations taking place.

Love was shared and memories were made at The Table.

In today’s society, that’s not a very common thing to see…

Most of us are looking for a sense of significance, belonging, and love but often fail to find it. 

And that leads to us feeling empty, disappointed, and alone as ever - even in a room full of people.

That’s how I felt before I met my friends at  PayanX , a fitness community dedicated to loving one another.

Their acceptance and love were the catalyst that brought me closer to God and saved my life. 

And because of that, I’ve developed a deep desire to rebuild HD on the foundation of True Love. 

But what is Love?

Love is not simply an emotion or an obligatory action. True Love is the presence of God, because God is love. 

“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.  It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.  Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. 

Love never fails.”

This is God’s unconditional and unmerited love for YOU! 

And that’s exactly what the New HD is built on: the solid foundation of God’s undying Love. 

With all the chaos in our world, the current state of war between Russia and Ukraine, the pandemic and its many confusing mandates, it is crucial to  FOCUS our lives through the lens of True Love. 

How are you focusing your life through the lens of  Love ? 

Please share your answers by simply replying to this email. 

I would love to showcase them on our HD Instagram Stories. 

Looking forward to reading all your love notes. 

Stay Blessed, 

Anahita Naderi 

Founder and Curator of Hidden Dinner 

P.S.  Now as we prepare The Table once again , I look forward to sharing a space where love flows freely without the judgment of the world.
