The days of fine china, beef bourguignon and printed menus aren’t necessarily gone, but a more casual approach is very welcome when hosting a dinner party nowadays. After all, serving delicious food and enjoying great company is what really matters here!
But some traditions remain, like offering a stellar cheese on the charcuterie board, gifting the host and keeping the conversation flowing! We asked the renowned chef and author Pamela Salzman for her own dinner party go-tos for our first #NothingFancyDinnerParty blog. So take notes (and maybe have a snack beforehand because you WILL be hungry after reading this!)
