Behind the Scenes: The First Jane Win Gratitude Gathering
To celebrate our collaboration with Giadzy and the spirit of Gratitude, the Jane Win team gathered for something simple and meaningful—cooking dinner together. Inspired by Giada De Laurentiis’ recipes and our love of gathering around the table, our first Gratitude Gathering turned into a night full of lemons, pasta, laughter, and appreciation for the people we build this brand with every day.
Of course—OF COURSE—we had a party.
When we first began dreaming about the collaboration with Giadzy (and after I happily cooked my way through many of Giada De Laurentiis’ recipes), our team gathered for a brainstorm. Instead of spending money on another influencer dinner, we had a thought:
Why don’t we just cook together?
And just like that, Gratitude Gatherings were born.
The idea came from the purest place—just like this collaboration. The best moments in life are spent around a table with family and friends. Recipes are passed down through generations, just like jewelry. And taking a moment to appreciate all that we have is simply the best way to move through life.
So we created a little challenge.
Each team at the Jane Win office was assigned a course.
Marketing—naturally the life of the party—took on the hors d’oeuvres.
The Product Team—the centerpiece of our brand—was responsible for the main course.
Distribution—the team that supports everything—handled salad and bread.
And dessert (arguably the most important course!) fell to our company president, Kate.
We gathered at my house and, I won’t lie, it was a little chaotic. The Distribution team was making focaccia—actually Giada’s mom’s recipe. There was olive oil flying. Gluten-free and non-gluten pasta happening at the same time. Lemons everywhere. All of it unfolding while we sipped Jane Win’s signature cocktail, The Golden Coin.
And then we sat down. The table was overflowing with Amalfi lemon chicken, pasta, bread, and everything we had made together. As we looked around the table, there was a real sense of gratitude—for building a company together, learning together, traveling together, and for all of the successes (and lessons) along the way.
Your “work friends” are very real. These relationships shape your life in meaningful ways. Why not take a moment to appreciate and celebrate them? And here’s the best part: this was just the beginning.
This spring, Jane Win will be hosting Gratitude Gatherings coast to coast, and we want you to join in. How?
