Salad For President - Arty Parties: An Entertaining Cookbook

In her follow-up to Salad for President, Julia Sherman applies an artist’s touch to home gatherings in Arty Parties. Artists throw superior parties, embracing imperfection, creativity, and joy in feeding loved ones. Sherman shares inspired, easy recipes and playful experiments to help readers host memorable events, whether it’s an intimate breakfast or a flexible meal for a crowd. Eschewing conventional markers of taste, Sherman emphasizes getting your hands dirty, building community, and taking risks. Her recipes celebrate simplicity and bold flavors, like avocado-lemongrass panna cotta, saffron tomato soup, and roasted broccolini with creamy pepita sauce. The book also highlights gatherings by acclaimed artists, from a chic Parisian office party to an earth-oven pizza night in L.A., alongside Sherman’s own experimental yet relatable events. Arty Parties is a beautifully designed guide to creating meaningful, nourishing experiences for hosts and guests alike.
