Risa Lichtman owns and operates Lepage Food & Drinks, a small food business based in Portland, Oregon. The food is seasonal Jewish and Mediterranean-inspired comfort food, sometimes done fancy and sometimes done homey, because we love a bit of both. Risa has cooked in restaurants throughout Portland, San Francisco & New York for over a decade.. She believes in using food as a means for activism, participating in mutual aid, and community building. Risa is the lead organizer of the Portland chapter of Queer Soup Night, which gathers queer community and allies over food-centered events and raises funds for local grassroots organizations.
Her creative and market-driven cooking style is highly influenced by her years spent living abroad in the Middle East, where she first found her passion in cooking. She values ingredient-driven food and building close relationships with her local farmers, and offering nutritious, nurturing, and comforting food to her community and beyond.
Risa lives in NE Portland with her wife (slash photographer slash social media guru) Jamie. They have a cat Sylvia, puppies Reuben (like the sandwich) and Cannoli, and four chickens. When she’s not cooking she can be found camping, gardening, figuring out a sewing project, or eating from one of her favorite food makers.
Summer Supper Series at Cave Creek Farm
Join us at the farm for our Summer Supper Series - an intimate backyard dinner collaboration with some of our favorite chefs, bounty from our gardens, and incredible friends - all under a starry sky. These wildly talented humans are bringing their love to you on the farm in the form of food; but they are also changemakers, mothers, fathers, health nuts, entrepreneurs, lovers, foragers, activists, nutritionists, travelers, story tellers, and so much more. We are so happy that each one of them agreed to share their gifts with all of us.
