Cosmic Event Calendar
Welcome to the Cosmic Event Calendar of Hingagyi—a flavorful timeline of gatherings, tastings, digital experiences, and community explorations that bring the culinary world into intimate conversation with culture, tradition, and instinct. This isn’t your typical calendar of events. It’s more like a curated constellation of rich moments—where foodways meet storytelling, and where our shared hunger for flavor and deeper meaning finds its place at the table.
Founded by Zayric Orlandis and rooted in the historic heart of Dallas, Texas, Hingagyi is more than a culinary publication—it’s a cross-cultural passage. Our events reflect that. Each one is shaped by our mission to honor the soulful beat of food traditions through thoughtful experiences: from virtual seminars on kitchen theory to hands-in-the-dough sessions that explore the spirit of Hinga cuisine. No matter where you are in the world, there’s a seat for you.
Events to Look Forward To
We believe that recipes don’t just live on the page—they live in live moments, in hands moving through dough, in voices that rise over simmering pots, and in curious learners drawing lines between food and its origins. The events below are designed to nourish your culinary curiosity thoughtfully and calmly.
The Hinga Flavors Tasting Table (Monthly Series)
A guided tasting session featuring rotating themes around classic Hinga ingredients and contemporary interpretations. Includes ingredient mapping, sensory layering, and creative palette pairings. Expect storytelling and spirited discussion, paired with tradition and modernity on a single plate.
Cultural Kitchens – A Crossroads Conversation
This seasonal series spotlights guest chefs and food storytellers from different regions, exploring the intersections of identity, history, and culinary technique. Each event deep-dives into the narrative arcs behind beloved dishes, from fermented myths to rediscovered grains.
Digital Demo Days: Kitchen Hacks and Traditions
Join our editors and guest culinarians as we walk you through step-by-step processes behind time-tested kitchen techniques—from intuitive knife handling to fermentation fundamentals and Hinga-style conserving. Calm, focused, and hands-on from your own kitchen.
Harvesting Hinga: Traditions in Motion
This annual event celebrates the Hinga calendar with community cooking, ingredient storytelling, and regional wisdom. From spice rituals to grain blessings, we’ll explore how seasonal motion influences taste, memory, and gathering traditions. Whether outdoors or online, the spirit of heritage finds its rhythm again.
Participation That Centers the Senses
Attending a Hingagyi event isn’t about passive learning—it’s about intentional curiosity. Each event is built around shared inquiry, cultural empathy, and the calm joy of discovery. We invite you to engage however you’re able: cook with us, question boldly, taste mindfully, and listen deeply. Sometimes, just showing up with attentive presence makes all the difference.
How to Join Us
Some events are free digital gatherings open globally; others are limited engagement workshops with registration. Wherever possible, we offer recordings to community members who can’t participate live. Newsletter subscribers get first alerts for registration and early access to featured event materials—including ingredient lists, culinary histories, and prompts for reflection.
If you’re new here, start with our home page to orient yourself in our world and values, then check this calendar monthly for updated listings. While some events follow the seasons, others orbit around emerging topics in culinary anthropology, food equity, or sensory education.
Hosting & Collaboration
If you’re interested in co-presenting, providing insight, or bringing a cultural tradition to the Hingagyi table, we want to hear from you. Our events are strengthened by the voices and hands that make up our global food network. Every builder of ritual and keeper of knowledge is a storyteller—and we make space for them here.
