In this episode of Nourish & Flourish, I’m joined by Becca Wang, writer, editor and food commentator whose voice has been shaping how Australians think about food, culture and entertaining for years. Becca writes for Broadsheet, where she covers everything from restaurants and cafes to recipes and the social side of food, and brings both passion and practicality to every table.

Today, we talk about entertaining at home without the overwhelm. If the idea of hosting a dinner or drinks makes you anxious, Becca’s approach will reassure you: good hosting isn’t about perfection, it’s about connection, creativity and simplicity.

Together we unpack:

• How to take the stress out of entertaining and actually enjoy your own event

• Tips for simplifying menus while still delighting your guests

• Practical tricks to keep service smooth and prep manageable

• Creating a warm, welcoming atmosphere that feels effortless

• Shifting your mindset from “impressing” to gathering with purpose

Becca’s thoughtful insights and no-nonsense style prove that elegant, memorable entertaining doesn’t require hours in the kitchen, just a few clever strategies and a generous spirit.
