The Domestic Goddess, Television Star And ColCacchio Ambassador Looks Back At The Dinner Party That Kicked It All Off.

My First Dinner Party - Siba Mtongana

It goes without saying that I enjoy hosting a crowd, whether it’s an elaborate dinner party, a high tea or a casual lunch. The most fun part, for me, besides the cooking and baking aspect, has to be the preparation that comes with it. That’s something I’ve learnt to master over the years. It was not always the case, though. In my younger days I had a lot to learn about the art of planning, which let me tell you, can be a deal breaker. My saving grace was growing up in a big family where dinner for 12 was the norm, so cooking up a storm for a crowd (as well as years of assisting my mom and older siblings in the kitchen) is something that came easy to me – the blessing of having so many relatives.
