Zen Hostess: The Philosophy
Being a Zen Hostess means enjoying the company of your guests and the pleasant atmosphere you have created. Because, after all, a party is about companionship, not about the physical food, music, or wine.
Hostessing Zen is about planning a party that's within your comfort zone so you can enjoy yourself at your own party. Keep the food make-ahead and stress-free, keep the atmosphere relaxed, and if disaster strikes, just roll with it. You can always order pizza.
