Peg was born and raised in Eastern North Carolina (ENC, affectionately). Through her experiences in the South and in all of her travels, she has become the Queen of Party Hosting. PegHardee.com will document her take on preparing everything from age-old recipes to casual and modern cuisine, tips on how to arrange one’s home for entertaining, and discoveries from her travels. The bottom line is that she knows how to have fun while maintaining casual sophistication and will enjoy sharing such insight with you. Cheers!

This is a source to catalog recipes, cooking experiences, adventures in entertaining, travel tales, and share them with you. I surely don’t consider myself a chef, but I really thrive on cooking and gathering folks at my home. I’m always up for a travel adventure and like to explore artsy and historical locales in far flung (and not so far flung!) places, and bring the experiences home to spread the joy. Cheers!
