Arty Parties: An Entertaining Cookbook

In Arty Parties, Julia Sherman builds on the success of Salad for President, bringing an artist’s touch to hosting gatherings. Artists thrive at throwing parties, embracing imperfection, creativity, and the joy of feeding loved ones. Sherman inspires readers to take risks, build community, and focus on playfulness over perfection, offering inventive recipes like avocado-lemongrass panna cotta, saffron tomato soup, and roasted broccolini with creamy pepita sauce. The book showcases stories from artists’ gatherings, from a chic Parisian office party to an L.A. pizza night, alongside Sherman’s own experimental but relatable events. With its beautiful design, Arty Parties is a guide to meaningful, nourishing hosting, whether for intimate breakfasts or festive meals for a crowd.
