Life’s too short for boring get togethers.
Let it go.
Focus less on logistics and more on purpose. You’ll discover that your gatherings are more relaxed and enjoyable for everyone.
Go beyond small talk.
Spark interesting conversations, not gossip, by introducing activities and conversation starters that’ll elicit curiosity and build trust.
Imperfection is endearing.
Your friends aren’t expecting anything fancy so use ingredients you have on hand, make wholesome dishes, and don’t sweat it if you screw up.
Less admin, more memories.
“People want honest, flavorful food, not some show-off meal that takes days to prepare.” – Ted Allen
