In her latest cookbook, Julia Sherman demonstrates how to infuse an artist's creativity into home gatherings. Artists excel at hosting, and we can learn from their approach to embracing imperfection, prioritizing character, and finding joy in sharing meals with loved ones. With inspired, easy recipes and engaging kitchen experiments, Sherman encourages readers to become the architects of their own memorable events, whether it’s an intimate breakfast or a flexible feast for a crowd. Rather than adhering to rigid standards of taste, this book emphasizes the importance of community, creativity, and culinary exploration. Featuring vibrant dishes that celebrate simplicity, Sherman offers healthy, easy-to-follow recipes that highlight imaginative flavor pairings, such as avocado-lemongrass panna cotta, saffron tomato soup, and roasted broccolini with blood oranges. The book also showcases unique gatherings hosted by renowned artists, from a stylish office party in Paris to a rustic pizza event in Los Angeles. Interwoven with Sherman's own relatable yet adventurous events, this beautifully designed guide inspires readers to create meaningful experiences that nourish both hosts and guests in body, mind, and soul.
