Chef Andreya is back to share so much amazing information about how to host a holiday party without the stress. She walks us through the planning stages that she has perfected as a chef, along with many valuable tips she has picked up over her amazing career. But what Chef Andreya really wants to remind you is that a holiday gathering (or any gathering with friends and family) should be about sharing space, love, and community, and a delicious meal is a great reason to come together.
Wait, what does this have to do with the act of making? As a multicraftual app and podcast, we love to celebrate making of all types, which includes cooking and baking! So grab your notebook, WIP, and a snack (because you might get hungry with all this food talk), and hit play.
