Ana Hammond

Hi, I’m Ana, the voice behind Any Day Soirée. I share no-cook party menus and everyday spreads for busy people who love to gather, eat, and keep it real.

I’ve written a five star reviewed party planning cookbook (Prepare to Party), hosted a cooking show on TV, taught seasonal cooking classes to preschoolers, run two small businesses at the same time, and once cooked for Gordon Ramsay on MasterChef. He sent me home with the best plot twist — I found out I was pregnant after years of infertility. And no, he’s not the father. So technically, I won a better prize.

These days, I’m focused more on motherhood than Hollywood, even though I later auditioned for The Taste just to see if I still had the culinary chops … and I did. They cast me again, I declined.

With family now at the center of my life and being busier than ever, I’m focused on creating easy, crowd pleasing recipes and menus for people who want to host like me without the stress. Sometimes no ovens, definitely no perfectionism, and lots of shortcuts, including store bought ingredients. Simple food that works for gatherings that feel good, even if your guests are just your crew.

I no longer offer formal party planning services unless you’re a subscriber. That’s where you can unlock my full recipe index, all of the no-cook menus and everyday spreads, plus lots of real parties with real tips.  The kind of hosting inspiration that makes things feel special without either of us burning out. I don’t sell courses , but I will answer all of your questions and you’ll have a strategy in place when we’re done chatting. No frills, just straight talk .

If you’re here just browsing to savor the vibe, thanks for stopping by. You’re welcome to sign up and grab all the freebies or follow on Instagram. You won’t get the complete bag of swag but I’ll still sprinkle confetti direct to your inbox . Either way, thanks for being here…Cheers!
