For the Table: Easy, Adaptable, Crowd-Pleasing Recipes

Hosting a dinner party is a special kind of occasion. You welcome old friends and new ones into your home and gather around the table. You place platters of food prepared just for that table of people, and pass them until everyone is satisfied. This sense of sharing and being together feeds more than just stomachs. It’s what helps us stay connected, form new relationships, and build lasting bonds with our chosen families. During times of social distancing, the perfect dinner party might have felt like a lost art, but in For the Table, food writer Anna Stockwell provides all the tools needed to reclaim the ritual of hosting memorable yet modern dinner parties.
