From the author of The Newlywed Table (70,000 copies in print), The Hostess Handbook offers readers 100 easy entertaining recipes, party planning advice, and curated menus to pull off the most delicious and delightful of gatherings, from an epic holiday bash to a casual gettogether in the backyard, or an inspired dinner party.Whats the secret to every good party? Is it the tasty but not overly fussy food? The warmth of a good host who doesnt disappear into the kitchen halfway through the night? The beautiful tablespace or the eclectic mix of glassware? Its all of the above, and now, you dont have to sweat it because The Hostess Handbook shows how to master the art of entertaining. Author Maria Zizka starts with the first rule of party planning (being, there are no rules!), then walks readers through some options and considerations to host guests comfortablyfrom serving supplies to decorating tips and strategies. The array of recipes includes snacks, sides, and salads so good they could be the whole meal, like Chicken Wings with ApricotHoneyChile Sauce and Toothpick Gnocchi with Oregano Breadcrumbs. Mains can be made ahead (Brisket and Harissa Buttered Carrots) and will have guests coming back for more (Potato ChipCrust Chicken with Green Olive Relish). Plus, there are fabulous desserts fit for any type of celebration (from Gingersnap and Lemon Ice Cream Sandwiches to a Pavlova with Chamomile Cream and Citrus). Batch cocktails and nonalcoholic drinksa Negroni Pitcher, a Sparkling StrawberryRhubarb Elixirmake bartending easy. Throughout, Zizka offers expert advice to coach readers through the partyplanning process, from setting the table to cleaning up the inevitable red wine spill. As a bonus, fourteen curated menusincluding a pack and go picnic, a Sunday supper for the family, or a promotion party feast take the worry of meal planning off your plate, making it even easier to get together with loved ones. Afterall, isnt that the whole point?

I bought this book as a gift for my sister who just moved into her first apartment. She’s finding it super helpful for planning her housewarming. The advice is practical and down-to-earth, making it easy for beginners to entertain.

Great Resource, Needs More Visuals
This handbook is really informative, but I wish it had more pictures to go along with the recipes and tips. The writing is engaging, though, and I've already tried out a couple of ideas for my next dinner party!

Not What I Expected
I was really excited to receive 'The Hostess Handbook', but some sections felt a bit too basic for me. I've hosted a lot of gatherings, so I was hoping for more advanced tips. Still, it’s a good start for anyone new to hosting.
