| We write with a personal invitation—and a reason to clear your calendar for November 16 when we celebrate the 21st Anniversary of Recipe for Success Foundation at the Delicious Alchemy Banquet. As Board members and proud chairs of this year’s event, we would be honored to have you with us.
If you’ve been to Delicious Alchemy, you know it earns its reputation. The Houston Chronicle calls it “the ultimate dinner party”—cocktails at twilight in the Chef’s Garden followed by an exquisite ten-course dinner complete with extraordinary wines, prepared by ten award-winning chefs,served at a long king’s table in the Gathering Barn, adorned with farm-grown flowers and candlelight.
But the evening is about more than the food. For twenty-one years, Recipe for Success has transformed how Houston’s children understand and eat their food—through hands-on garden and culinary education, through Hope Farms and its fresh produce grown in the heart of a food desert, through training the next generation of urban farmers. Every seat filled makes that work possible.
This year, we are inviting a select group of leaders to join us as Event Co-Chairs. Co-Chairs commit to raising or donating $20,000 and enjoying the recognition that comes with the title. Or perhaps you would like to embrace the experience of a Visionary Bon Vivant—enjoying premier seating, a curated wine flight, and private butler service, along with many kudos. If Co-Chair leadership isn’t the right fit this year, we welcome you as an Epicurean Table Host or individual guest.
Please reach out to learn more or to reserve your place. We would love nothing more than to share this evening with you.
With warmth and anticipation,
Veronica Neal & Rudy Guerra Co-Chairs, Delicious Alchemy Banquet 2026 Recipe for Success Foundation Board of Directors |
