“If you are inauthentic, everyone will sniff it out.”
“Real Housewives of New York” star Erin Lichy Lichy regularly throws shade on reality TV – and also throws the best dinner parties in town says ALEXANDER HANKIN. Her new hardcover tome “She’s A Host” spills Lichy’s secret family recipes plus lots of social tips and tidbits.
Your book is a how-to for hosting the best soirées.
I love to cook and host. It truly comes naturally to me. I love being able to share that with people. So many recipes are passed down from various family members. We have Shabbat dinner every Friday, without fail. It’s the best way to reconnect.
You have four kids to feed.
They love my pasta with broccoli or meatballs, which are both in my book. My husband Abe is an excellent cook too. He made a Mexican tortilla soup this weekend that was insane.
Relationship tip: “Communication and sex.”
You and Abe have a podcast “Come Together.”
We open up about marriage, life, kids, work life, balance and so much more. It’s also just a tool for Abe and I to actually catch up.
Relationship tips?
Communication and sex.
Your mezcal Mezcalum is on fire.
Someone had to bring mezcal to America. Duh! Jokes aside, we have such a passion for this business and the way it brings people together. It’s the cleanest spirit in existence. As a category, mezcal must be 100% pure agave whereas tequila only need to be 51% pure. I am very mindful of what i put in my body. Alcohol was a blind spot for me, as it is for many other people.
Your skin is flawless.
I swear that drinking tons of water with electrolytes has made my skin clearer.
Any advice for the countless “Real Housewives” hopefuls?
If you are inauthentic, everyone will sniff it out.
You’re a born and bred New Yorker, any big city tips?
If you don’t walk fast, you’re going to piss a lot of people off, so move to the side of the street.
