From food stylist and editor Anna Stockwell, a cookbook for a simpler, more modern kind of dinner party β the kind where you gather friends around the table and pass platters until everyone's had their fill. Every menu is built around just two large sharing platters, organized by season, with suggestions for no-recipe sides so the whole thing stays generous without becoming a lot of work: Sheet-Pan Meatballs and Roasted Squash, a Spicy Tomatoey Fish with Charred Broccolini Salad, Duck Breast with Bitter Orange, a Whole Side of Salmon. Alongside the food, Stockwell covers the parts that actually make hosting easier β prep-ahead strategies, handling guest lists and dietary restrictions, even how to give a toast β proof that a dinner party doesn't have to be fussy to feel like a celebration.
