What home hosts are frustrated with…

  • Liz

    “ I wish I had one place for actually useful recipes I could filter based on my diet, kitchen equipment, and occasion.”

  • Rani

    “Something that stresses me out about hosting is not knowing who is making what, what allergies people have, and whether we need to pitch in with cooking or costs.”

  • Nima

    “I feel like I’m always overbuying or underbuying ingredients, which results in wasted time, produce, and money. There must be another way!”

  • Marie-Anne

    “No matter how hard I try, I get stuck in the kitchen doing last-minute cooking, even when guests arrive. I wish someone could tell me when to start prepping in advance so I can actually enjoy the party.”

  • Henry

    “Someone needs to create a guide to post-dinner party cleanup. Because boy, does that take up more time than I would like!”

  • Lee

    “The number of apps I need to use to organize the dinner party process is getting out of hand. It’s hard to keep track of everything on top of the actual cooking and shopping I need to do.”

  • Fanny

    “I feel a sense of pride in doing it all myself, but sometimes, I just wish I could split the work. But delegating and keeping track of who’s doing what feels like a job of its own.”
