Welcome to Suppers & Soirées

Welcome to Suppers and Soirées - where we're reviving the lost art of hospitality, one gathering at a time. Join Michelle Mize, founder of Sun Cookery, as she unpacks what it truly means to host for connection, not perfection.

In our weekly episodes, we'll challenge the modern barriers to hosting - from imperfect homes to cooking anxieties - and rediscover the simple joy of gathering. Michelle brings her unique perspective from decades of experience, from running her first party planning business in the '90s to creating destination experiences in Seattle, and ultimately founding Sun Cookery, a company dedicated to making hosting accessible and joyful for everyone.

This isn't about Pinterest-perfect tablescapes or Instagram-worthy spreads. It's about opening your door, offering a drink, and creating space for real conversation. Whether you're a seasoned host or someone who's never dared to invite people over, this podcast will give you the confidence, tools, and inspiration to create meaningful connections at home.

Each week, we'll explore different aspects of hosting through engaging conversations, practical tips, and real stories from guests who share their own hosting journeys. From casual coffee dates to dinner parties, backyard gatherings to holiday celebrations, we'll show you that true hospitality isn't about perfection - it's about generosity of spirit and creating space for authentic connection.

Join us as we explore what Michelle calls "generous hospitality" - the art of being unequivocally generous with your time, attention, and home. Because there's always room for one more at the table, and the best memories are made when we open our doors and hearts to others.

Listen weekly as we work together to bring back the joy of gathering, one episode at a time. Suppers and Soirées: where everyone's welcome and connection is always on the menu.
