ABOUT CIARA…
Ciara Morreale Lucas is a certified sommelier, experiential cook, and co-founder of HER Kitchen.
Raised inside her family’s wellness-driven business, Ciara always understood the power of creating spaces where people feel cared for, connected, and inspired. After studying marketing at Canisius College and fashion merchandising at Fashion Institute of Technology — followed by a role in the fashion department at Teen Vogue — she returned home to Buffalo to help grow the evolving HER Story brand alongside her mother.
Though not classically trained as a chef, Ciara is a lifelong cook whose approach to food is rooted in curiosity, hospitality, and joy. As a certified sommelier and longtime restaurant professional, she brings a deep appreciation for ingredients, flavor, and the experience surrounding a shared table.
At HER Kitchen, Ciara creates immersive culinary and wellness experiences designed to help people reconnect with their kitchens — not as places of pressure or perfection, but as spaces of nourishment, creativity, and community. Her work lives at the intersection of food, gathering, and well-being, grounded in the belief that meaningful cooking is less about mastery and more about how food makes us feel.
Her cooking is shaped not by formal training, but by hospitality, storytelling, and a love of creating experiences that invite people to slow down and reconnect. Through workshops, classes, and shared meals, Ciara helps others rediscover confidence and joy in cooking — proving that the kitchen belongs to everyone.
