    Hi! Welcome to The Gourmet Host

    Weโ€™re David & Talia.

    We love getting together around food. But we didnโ€™t always love the messy chaos of dinner party planning. 

    Inspired by the intimate connections we made around the dinner table, we dedicated ourselves to the art of hosting. Hundreds of dinner parties later, we developed a smart system that makes cooking and gathering feel easy, empowering, and collaborative.

    The Gourmet Host is a place where every foodie and community builder has the tools to put together a meaningful event at home.
