The Dinner Party ProjectThe Dinner Party Project

A cooking show host and private chef shares the secrets to throwing fun, no-stress gatherings through recipes for every mood and cooking comfort level, menu suggestions, and tips and tricks for taking the pressure off of hosting.
"Making and eating dinner with your friends should be a blast--nothing tops getting people together, sharing good food, and laughing until you cry. The Dinner Party Project is hereto revive and democratize the dinner party, to make it a fun, communal practice rather than a stressful solo performance by the host. Forget fussy recipes with ingredients lists that run a mile long. With sections on appetizers, main dishes, drinks, sides, and desserts, Feldman provides recipes for every mood and cooking comfort level (including pizza parties, taco nights, and permission to order takeout). Whimsical illustrations help demystify the cheese plate, offer store-bought dessert options, and guide you to your ideal dinner menu; tips within each recipe ensure great results and help you plan ahead and avoid last-minute scrambling." -- Amazon.com.
