Welcome to Hostess Wars, where I challenge myself (and friends every once in a while) to entertain with delight. If you’re a city dweller who loves to entertain, but you don’t have a lot of space, the time, or money to throw an extravagant soiree, then this is the spot for you. There are not a lot of over-styled party ideas here, just an emphasis on the attainable and fun.

As a kid, I remember taking notes from Jacques Pepin and Yan Can Cook on PBS.  Ohhh the pre-Food Network days.  I loved flipping through my mom’s House Beautiful magazines, planning my dream kitchen and the menus that would come out of it.  Now all grown up and living in DC, I work in event management.  When not on the job, I am dreaming up the next way to treat my urban family of friends to the hospitality they deserve.  And that is where Hostess Wars comes in…
