THE ART OF HOSTING
Hosting is an art form. How did you realize you had a gift for it?
It combines all my favourite things: food, conversation, and people. When you’re doing something you love, it’s easy to get good at it. There’s nothing better than putting a group of people together around the table over a good spread and nattering for hours and hours. Everyone has such busy lives, so it’s nice to put on an experience that often doesn’t require too much effort…
What’s your favourite thing about being a host?
I love hosting. It makes me so happy to see people sitting in my kitchen having fun. I love to get up from a busy table mid-dinner and watch people talking and laughing—it’s moments like that that make me extremely grateful. In real life, relationships are everything.
