Celebrated television, cookbook, and restaurant chef
Michael Chiarello is a master of simple, casually elegant
cooking—and a fabulous host. In this cookbook—packed with
great recipes, gorgeous photographs, and inspiring
entertaining ideas—he shares his secrets for celebrating in
style (and having fun doing it too!). Whether hosting four
around the kitchen counter or a hundred for a cocktail
party, readers will find everything from appetizers and
main courses to desserts and drinks (over 130 recipes in
all), time-saving tips, an all-important section on
stocking the pantry (great for impromptu gatherings!),
whimsical menus, and creative settings and table
arrangements. A holiday cocktail party throws together
quickly with bowls of crunchy Fusilli Snack Mix and Crispy
Sausage-Stuffed Olives, all washed down with citrusy
margaritas. Roll out the red carpet for an at-home movie
night featuring Pop Culture Popcorn, Giant Bean Cassoulet
with Fennel-Spiced Chicken, and Chocolate Mousse Cannolis
along with the latest video release. Even a sit-down dinner
can be a relaxing affair with Forever Roasted Lamb with
Herbes de Provence, Lemon-Oil Smashed Potatoes, Garlicky
Vegetables Primavera, and, for dessert, Molton Flourless
Chocolate Cupcakes. Uber-casual Chiarello inspires calm and
confidence in even the most jangle-nerved hosts, inviting
everyone to think like an entertainer—and relax like a
guest.
