About
Modern research from institutions like Stanford and the University of Chicago has confirmed something we all feel: People are more “connected” digitally than ever, but real human connection is declining.
Nearly 50% of adults report feeling lonely or disconnected, and dating apps — once meant to bring us together — often leave us feeling even more isolated. Endless swiping. Shallow interactions. No shared experiences. No spark.
Lov Appétit was created to change that. We believe technology should enhance connection, not replace it — and the best way to bring people together is through something all humans understand: Food. Laughter. Shared experience.
Pledge
Help us to provide a meal to a person, couple, or family in need. It’s our belief that a shared meal can make a significant impact. Help us to make someone’s day a Lovly Day. At Lov Appetit, 10% of our earnings go towards providing meals for people in need. Want to know the best part? Our Lov Appetit community gets to decide who these meals will be awarded to by nominating someone they know.
Mission
Lov Appétit blends guided cooking experiences with intentional, human-centered conversation. Whether you’re single and hoping to meet someone new, or part of a couple looking to reignite connection, Lov Appétit creates an atmosphere where real chemistry can develop. Our philosophy is simple: “Connection happens when people feel comfortable, present, and engaged.” Cooking together does all three.
Vision
Cooking activates parts of the brain linked to bonding, trust, and emotional openness. When people prepare a meal together, barriers fall away — the experience becomes a shared journey rather than a performance.
This is why we don’t rush the process.
Our dating events may use timed “mini dates,” but nothing about the atmosphere feels rushed. You’ll be cooking, laughing, tasting, and engaging naturally — not sprinting through awkward conversations. We call it slow-dating disguised as speed dating.
Singles - Mini Dates
Our singles events bring together a small group of participants who follow a cooking tutorial as they rotate through “mini dates.”
-
Not rushed.
-
Not pressured.
-
Not awkward.
Just good food, good vibes, and genuine conversation.
Couples - date night
We bring a group of couples together for a warm, interactive cooking experience designed to:
-
Rekindle closeness
-
Spark playful banter
-
Teach a delicious recipe
-
Incorporate games, advice, and connection prompts
It’s a date night that feeds the relationship — literally and emotionally.
If you have attended one of our events, thank you for being a part of the Lov Community! As mentioned in our pledge we will look to provide meals to those amongst us in need. We need your help to accomplish this. Please use this form to nominate someone in your life who you know would benefit from having the Lov Appetit team serve them up something pretty special.
