Issue #9,a fun, unique idea for easy entertaining

Let's Get Lost, April 20, 2024

Hello friends! I am so excited about this issue! Instead of several recipes, this issue is devoted to one super fun and unique idea that you can use for easy entertaining any size group.

• Everything can be made in advance 👏

• Scale up or down to feed as many people as you like 👯

• This idea is just as well suited for a sit down meal as it is for a buffet or an open house 😌

• There’s only one thing to keep warm - everything else can be served at room temperature 🙌

• Serve this meal inside or outside - it’s perfect for camping or entertaining in a small space - AND if you’re not in an entertaining kind of mood, it’s also a great way to meal prep 😍

As most of you know, my husband and I sold our house in April of 2020 and moved into a 43-foot 5th-wheel RV. In comparison to many RV kitchens, mine is humongous. But, compared to the kitchen in our former suburban house, it is absurdly tiny - especially for someone who makes a living as a recipe developer and food photographer.

I was nervous about how I could work in my new tiny kitchen and kind of thought that my days of entertaining more than a small handful of people were over.

But since moving into our RV, I’ve cooked my way across 30 states, created and published a few hundred recipes, and hosted gatherings with as few as 2 guests and as many as 40. (For those of you with a small kitchen, I piled a whole bunch of tips and tricks for organizing a small kitchen into this article.)

Along the way, I’ve learned a few things about easy entertaining.

But regardless of the size of your kitchen, the idea I’m going to share with you today is my new favorite way to cook for a group.
