An Interview with a First-Time Potluck Host

We sat down with a chef three months into her Potluck journey to hear how it has gone.

On nerves

“I was terrified before my first booking. Then the guests walked in, smelled the food, and the nerves vanished.”

On community

“Some guests have become regulars. One even brought me a plant for my kitchen. It feels like making friends.”

Thinking of hosting? Her advice: “Start with one dish you love. The rest follows.”
