GrossyPelosi is famously the hostess with the mostest—now it’s your turn to invite everyone in.

Dan Pelosi believes every day can be a celebration—and wherever there’s a celebration, there’s a menu waiting to be planned. In his second cookbook, the New York Times bestselling author dishes out more than 100 of his larger-than-life recipes, organized into sixteen distinct dinner parties designed to take the guesswork out of what to serve when and what goes with what. Some celebrations are familiar, like Giving Thanks (but—surprise!— we’re having roast chicken), and others prove anytime calls for entertaining, like Breakfast for Dinner, and of course, Dan’s iconic Holiday Cookie Party.

Whether you follow a menu as is or mix and match recipes, Dan helps you find the joy in every part of hosting, from setting the guest list to politely letting your company know when it’s time to go home, sharing his favorite family tidbits along the way (including his dad’s guide for Italian American slang—capisce?). For seasoned hosts and first-timers alike, this book is your manual. Save the date, dress up the table, and choose your outfit...now LET’S PARTY!

About the author: Dan Pelosi is the Italian meatball making meatballs behind GrossyPelosi, the popular Instagram favorite for all things comfort and food. Approachable and tasty, Dan’s recipes are meant to be shared and celebrated with the ones you love. Dan’s first cookbook, "Let’s Eat," was an instant New York Times bestseller, and his "Big Italian Sandwich Puzzle" is the first-ever deli sandwich jigsaw puzzle (as far as he knows!). Dan is a contributor to New York Times Cooking and appears regularly on "Good Morning America." He splits his time between Brooklyn and upstate New York, but you can always find him online at @grossypelosi.
