Hi! I’m Sutanya, the creator and founder of Dinner for One. I’m a Jamaican-born, Bronx-raised, American living in Paris’s best arrondissement, le 18ème.
When my marriage ended, I decided to hone in on my New Yorker-turned-Parisienne identity and get used to making dinner for one, à la française, as I explored being a 30-something divorcée in a foreign land, trying to rebuild my life and identity.
I started the podcast because I wanted to add a different perspective to the ‘American in Paris’ narrative.
What was initially an audio exploration of rebuilding my life post-divorce has evolved into a memoir, supper club, pop-ups in restaurants and wine bars across Paris, retreats, and a relaunched version of the original podcast—all celebrating the richness of solo living.
My healing journey after divorce in Paris has blossomed into a global movement that sees and acknowledges the sacredness of solo time. Whether you're single, in a romantic relationship, or somewhere in between, Dinner for One invites you to savor solitude, feed yourself, and romanticize your everyday life…simply because you deserve it.
