Dinner Party Animal: Recipes to Make Every Day a Celebration
Shipping calculated at checkout
This is a book built around events, not just recipes. From bagel brunches to holiday feasts, Dinner Party Animal offers 16 full menus—each one complete with a grocery list, prep-ahead guide, and day-of cooking schedule. It’s designed to take the guesswork out of having people over.
The food itself leans playful but practical: spicy sausage gnocchi bake with pesto ricotta, raspberry-goat cheese bars, caramelized onion and brie hand pies, scallion-horseradish smashed potatoes. Some recipes draw from Jewish traditions, others from all over, with a focus on bold flavors and simple assembly.
The goal here isn’t perfection—it’s getting a good meal on the table without losing your mind. Whether you’re cooking for two or hosting twelve, there’s plenty of structure here to make it feel manageable.
For fans of Jake Cohen’s earlier books, this one sticks to the same strengths: crowd-friendly food, flexible planning, and a touch of showmanship.
Hardcover. Color photographs throughout.
