A Celebration of Family, Food, and Love
Imagine a kitchen alive with laughter, where flour dusts the countertops like fresh snow, and the sounds of chopping, sizzling, and playful banter create a symphony of connection. This is more than a cookbook. This is an invitation from our entire family - my mom & dad, my sisters Tiffany and Danielle, David, my brother, and Jeremy and our kids. This is our deeply heartfelt call to rediscover the magic that happens when families come together, not just to eat, but to create, to play, to love, and to support each other.
With more than 80 recipes, this cookbook will be a family treasure with its wisdom on how to connect families through food and conversation.
Most important, 100% of all proceeds will be donated to Huntsman Mental Health Foundation in support of Huntsman Mental Health Institute’s substance use disorders programs – a cause and purpose at the core of the Moore Family. Keep reading for more of our story, and more of what you can do to support this work.
Cooking Is Not About Perfection
It’s about presence. It’s about the moments between the ingredients–the flour covered giggles of a child learning to knead dough, the collaborative chaos of a family feast. Not just of flavors and techniques, but of connections deepened, memories created, and love expressed through the universal language of food. We believe that the most important ingredients are never found in the pantry—they're the hands that chop, the voices that sing, the hearts that share.
Support Something Larger than Ourselves
And here's something special: every page you turn, every recipe you create, supports something larger than ourselves. All proceeds from this book will directly support Huntsman Mental Health Foundation in support of Huntsman Mental Health Institute, an organization that helps the world better understand the complexity of the brain to address mental health and substance use disorders. So when you gather your family around the kitchen, you're not just nourishing your loved ones—you're extending that nourishment to young people in our communities who are hurting.
Support Substance Use Disorders and Addiction Recovery
Challenges with mental health can happen in any family. This is where our family decided to dig beyond the kitchen. We wanted to share our difficult journey with you. In particular, my brother David who is willing and excited to share his journey of addiction and sobriety over the last two decades of his life.
We invite you to join us in supporting this important cause, and also to cook with us. Embrace the mess. Celebrate the imperfect moments. Let flour drift like snowflakes, let sauces splatter, let laughter echo off the kitchen walls. Cooking together is an act of rebellion in a world that often feels disconnected—a radical statement of love, of togetherness, of joy.
Supporting Addiction Recovery and Preventing Substance Use Disorders
All proceeds from Life at Our Table will be going to Huntsman Mental Health Foundation, who is transforming the way the world understands, treats and heals substance use and mental health disorders.
“At Huntsman Mental Health Institute (HMHI), we believe that early intervention and integrated care can change the trajectory of a teen’s life. Our programs are designed to address mental health and substance use challenges through compassionate, evidence-based care that supports both adolescents and their families. We want to ensure the entire family has the tools they need to navigate a mental health challenge for their loved one.”
“Sharing a fun meal together is one of my favorite ways to make memories and connect with our family. And like so many others, we know what it’s like to miss someone at our table because of substance use disorder and other mental health challenges. We are thankful to see the difference being made by Huntsman Mental Health Institute and how the research, education, and treatment its talented team offers gives us hope that other families will get to have their loved one there to make memories for years to come.”

How Can You Prevent Addiction and Substance Abuse in Your Home?
One of the best things you can do is to talk with your kids about substance use in a natural, supportive way. Mealtime is often when families feel most connected—what better moment to open up a meaningful conversation around the table?
We have partnered with Huntsman Mental Health Institute to create a dinner conversation guide, full of tips and questions to get some of these conversations going. Where there is openness, love, trust, and vulnerability, there is family support. We are here to help you!
