For a limited time we have copies signed by Amber Mayfield Hewett.
Forget flawless cooking. Amber Mayfield Hewett, event planner and supper club founder, argues that what actually makes a gathering memorable is whether people feel welcomed, included, and connected. Drawing on years spent designing dinners and celebrations, she offers a practical guide to creating meaningful occasions of every size, from weeknight meals to holiday parties.
The book walks readers through every stage of hosting: defining a gathering’s purpose, managing budgets and timelines, curating music, arranging seating, introducing guests, encouraging conversation, and developing thoughtful traditions that people will remember long after the meal ends. Recipes, menus, checklists, and planning tools are woven throughout to support the process.
Accessible and encouraging, Your Turn to Host presents entertaining as a learnable skill rather than an innate talent, showing how intentional hospitality can strengthen friendships, build community, and turn everyday occasions into lasting memories.
Hardcover. Color photographs throughout.
