Hi I’m Margie Nomura and welcome to another episode of our Side Dish: The Dream Dinner Party. This is the mini episode where we invite a guest to tell us their dream dinner party. 

We find out everything from their dream guest list to what they would serve as the menu and where it would be held.

This week we welcome Poppy O’Toole to tell us all about her dream dinner party and her choice of guests and the venue are guaranteed to make this a very fun dinner party. Poppy O’Toole, also known as Poppy Cooks, is a Michelin-trained professional chef, who turned to tiktok upon losing her job in 2020 to fill some time. 3 years later, Poppy has amassed over 4 million followers on tiktok and her second cookbook is about to be released. She is a judge on Junior Masterchef and as the self-proclaimed Potato Queen, teaches her audience to make all sorts of potato delights as well as a whole host of other lovely recipes that aim to make cooking and food accessible to all audiences.

There is no right or wrong way to host a dinner party, whether it’s a dream one or not. A casual take away with your very closest friends or a full on affair where you impress people you’ve never met. The term dinner party can be a bit loaded, but in my mind it encompasses every occasion and every way of doing it
