How do you get the vibe right at a dinner party? For bestselling cookbook author Christine Flynn, it’s pretty simple: “I am the vibe,” she jokes in Episode 3 of Group Chat. Flynn—a recipe developer, restaurant veteran and regular Chatelaine contributor—joins editor-in-chief Maureen Halushak to discuss her longstanding career in food, how she entertains and just how important food is at your dinner party. (Flynn’s new cookbook, Easy Does It, is out now, and you can preview some of her recipes in our Spring 2026 issue.)
Also in this episode: Maureen, deputy food editor Chantal Braganza and creative director Sun Ngo talk entertaining styles, disaster dinner parties—and how to get people to leave at the end of the night.
Group Chat is new biweekly podcast that gets up close and personal with the editors of Chatelaine—and some very special guests.
Each episode, hosted by editor-in-chief Maureen Halushak, will explore one of the many topics, big and small, that matter to Canadian women—from menopause to weight bias to reality tv.
You can watch the podcast on Chatelaine’s YouTube channel or listen wherever you find your podcasts.
