Learn to cook, host and eat like a private chef. PRODUCT: Inspired by years working as a chef in New York City and the Hamptons, as well as childhood summers on Nantucket, Meredith Hayden makes food that is as unfussy as it is elegant—often with a touch of whimsy. In The Wishbone Kitchen Cookbook, Hayden teaches us to cook like a professional hostess (and have fun while doing it). This is the kind of food to celebrate every season of life—the kind of cooking you don’t start until you’ve made yourself a drink first. Recipes range from 20-minute meals to show-stopping centerpieces, all fit for your next dinner party. We are in love with the Pink Lemon Pasta and heirloom tomato galette, but the asparagas fries with feta and wok lobster are must-trys, too!
