A hilarious compilation of plate-licking recipes, foolproof menus, and playful anecdotes that will help even the most inexperienced cook entertain a group.
Saveur
Emily Post its not, but these two do know something about entertaining.
Macleans
I love these girls and their tasty, delicious, no-nonsense cooking.
Jamie Oliver
This eccentrically enjoyable book by two strange and wonderful women may well be the cookbook America needs right now. Fun, deliberately unintimidating and filled with interestingeven ingeniousrecipes, it inspires the non-professional to raise their game, and have a good time while doing so. Both book and authors are clearly good for the world.
Anthony Bourdain
For too long, food writing has made actual cooking seem intimidating and complicated. Tamara and Zoras style leads you along with wit and humor, to the point where you will be having great, convivial dinner parties with interesting food every week without even having to think about it.
Sara Jenkins, coauthor of Olives and Oranges and The Four Seasons of Pasta and chef-owner of Porsena and Nina June
In Forking Fantastic!, Tamara and Zora share their gift of creating easy and delicious meals with wonderful stories, tips, and recipesreminding us all that good food is about sitting around a table and eating, drinking, talking, and laughing.
Ana Sortun, author of Spice and chef-owner of Oleana, Boston
extremely well written...and they use bad words, lots of them. This of course makes them one of us.
Broke-Ass Stuart
We all know that something special happens when a bunch of people sit down together to share a meal and for some reason there are too few family suppers happening. This book will help you relax, remind you to slug some wine for courage, and inspire you to corral some friends and friendly strangers. Like the best hosts, their book is full of great stories and is generous with advice and encouragement. Cheers to more Sunday night supperson any day, at any hour!
Naomi Pomeroy, chef and cofounder of ripe Family Supper and chef/owner of Beast, Portland, OR
Peek, and much more, into what these gals get excited about, and share in delicious bites. You too will discover your inner chef. I know I have.

B ack at the tail end of the 00s, almost a whole decade ago, we wrote a cookbook with some laid-back advice on entertaining: Forking Fantastic! Put the Party back in Dinner Party, published in 2009 by Gotham Books, an imprint of Penguin. In several ways, we were a little ahead of our time. (So were you, if you read the book when it came outcongratulations!)
First of all, we wanted to call our book F*cking Delicious, but bookstore buyers got the vapors over the F-word. Not too long after, that barrier was well and truly broken, and most people have come around to profanity where profanity is due. And in our experience, the kitchen is one of the places it is most due.
Then there was the fact that our recipes called for duck fat and butteringredients that were considered decadent, if not downright deadly. Since then, science has managed to chip away at the notion that fat makes you fat, and you can serve your guests lardo-draped flatbreads or grilled rib-eye steaks with bone marrow sauce, and they wont think youre trying to kill them. Theyll think you love themwhich is what weve been wanting to show you all along.
As it happened, the most forward-thinking aspect of our book was far less salacious than bad words or butter. It was simply that we pushed hard against perfection.
Forking Fantastic! strongly advised against the Martha Stewart vision of entertaining. Trying to match all your plates was debilitating; hand-lettered place cards were straight wrong. The greater good was to have your friends over for dinner. No. Matter. What. It didnt matter if you didnt get around to cleaning the bathroom, we insisted, or if you barely knew how to cook. Any dinner around a table with people you love, relaxed and at home and talking together, counted as a success. But that was 2009, and Martha was still peddling her just-so fantasy; she hadnt met Snoop yet.
In 2018, by contrast, its clear: the world is goddamn messy.
Sure, Instagram continues to bombard us with more glowy lifestyle BS than Martha could imaginebut we know thats just clever cropping and filters. In real life, were all working on giving fewer fucks and being kinder to ourselves. This attitude should also apply to dinner with friends. Contrary to Insta, dinner parties can be imperfect and still be fine. In fact, theyre even better that way, and they can end up being some of the greatest nights of your life. Theres so much beauty in the ruin, kids.
Dinner parties are also an antidote to the feeling that the world is spinning out of control. That feeling is somehow even more pervasive today than when Forking Fantastic! first appearedwhich is especially shocking when you consider that in late 2009, we were one year into a global financial collapse.
No matter what life throws at you, dinner with friends is the best coping mechanism we know. It has gotten us through post9/11 anxiety, unemployment and underemployment, bad elections, long walks on the boulevard of broken dreams, and scores of other personal dramas. When you invite people into your home, youre opening yourself up in a way that is timeless, generous, and brave. Sharing your personal space is powerful: its the fastest route to breaking down those useless walls we think we need to get through the day.
More than ever, we all need the love and community that forms around a dinner table. And the world needs the free flow of ideas and schemes and tough discussions that happen not on Twitter or in Facebook comments but in actual real life, up close and personal, when the plates are wiped clean, the candles are fast becoming drips and puddles of wax, and we sit back in our chairs and really
