When Katherine Lewin opened up her first store—a dinner party shop—she had one goal: to help everyone make their meals at home feel a little bit more special.A little bit more joyful.A little bit Bigger.

In her debut cookbook, Katherine channels her brick-and-mortar shops’ irresistible energy into a treasure trove of tips, tricks, and guidance on every aspect of dinners, parties, and dinner parties. This book is your new back-pocket hosting companion.

Organized by season, the 80+ recipes for snacks, appetizers, mains, desserts, and cocktails take you through every occasion, all year long. From date night for two to pull-out-all-the-stops dinner parties to low-key weeknight hangs (delivery pizza encouraged—just make A Big Chopped Salad to go with), find all the inspiration you need—and confidence you want—to make any and every night a Big Night.
