Summary
Anna Stockwell literally wrote the book on how to host dinner parties—it's called For the Table and it's great. So it's no surprise that she has great hosting advice to share in this episode of The Dinner Plan, including how to juggle a full weekend of meals when you have houseguests visiting. She also shares tips for enhancing easy dinners, simple desserts, and evenings with friends with one key ingredient: butter. In the process of writing The Butter Book , Anna learned tons of butter history, plus which brand of butter is worth the price (and how to get the most out of it), tips on how to make browned butter (don't use that cast-iron skillet!), how to make molded butter shapes, butter boards, and butter mountains for a party, and how to make the world's best buttered pasta for kids or adults.
