TABLE FOR EIGHT. SATURDAY, 8 PM.

Dinner party

Saturday, eight o’clock. The candles are lit, the table is set with the good plates and the whole flat smells like something slow-roasted. The doorbell rings, coats pile up on the bed, glasses clink before anyone sits down. Then it’s just your favorite people around one table, passing plates and reaching for seconds. These are the recipes for that night, some made to impress and some just really good.

French Onion Soupthe good bowls, obviously
dessert was
made yesterday.

Dinner party tips

A starter that waits, a main from the oven, a dessert from yesterday. A dinner party doesn’t need a caterer, it needs a long table and a host who sits down. I put together my best tips and a little essentials list for you, so everything’s in one place. Now go light the candles.

xo, Kimberly
p.s. the host
sits down too.
Gorgonzola Gnocchi
Chocolate Mousse
dessert the day before

Mousse, tart, anything that sets. On the day, it just comes out of the fridge.

let the oven work

One main that braises or roasts while you have a drink with your guests.

little name cards

They look like effort and take two minutes. Nobody hovers.
