A dinner party blog for curious people looking for unique ways to feed their friends.
Keep it simple.
Skip the overly complicated menu, don’t clean like a mad man, and spend less time fussing over which fork goes where.
Give it some oomph.
Guide the conversation, incorporate games, and make everyone feel welcome, even if they just met.
Nobody expects perfection.
Use ingredients you already have, cook hearty dishes, and everyone will be happy. Just don’t run out of alcohol!
