No one could blame you if you're a little rusty at entertaining. After 2020, the urge to gather for meals together is strong, but we're all a little out of practice. So Food52 tapped a group of cookbook authors and hosting experts to do the lifting for you. Here's The Big Feast, a collection of menus and practical tips for reentering the world of dinner parties.

Most of these dishes can be prepared ahead of time, so you won’t need to spend the entire evening in the kitchen and miss out on the merriment.

This menu does everything I hope this cookbook does: It brings together the traditional, the familiar, and the reimagined in simple, accessible ways.

Dinner parties are one of my favorite things ever. While I want to make sure every dietary need or preference is tended to, I love introducing my guests to dishes or flavors they’ve never tried before.
