Had the time of my life on The Today Show. I don’t know what’s in the water over there, but everyone is absolutely wonderful, kind, and fun.

Can’t thank the dream team enough for making this book a reality:

Been planning parties for decades…but this is the first one you can hold in your hands.

EasyFancy (✨my cocktail-and-canapé love letter to gatherings✨)is finally on its way.

Years of ideas, months of shoots, plenty of laughter, and a parade of brilliant collaborators brought this book to life. And is part of the dream team for all food recipes 🥰

It’s funky, it’s chic, it’s a little unhinged in the best way, and I’m wildly proud of it.

🗓️January 2026 can’t come soon enough.

🍾🪩🌟If you want to be on the release list for launch events and early updates, comment “release” and I’ll add you.
