Gatherings

How the Pros of ATK Entertain at Home

More than twenty-five cooks step out of the test kitchen to reveal their favorite ways to gather with friends and family and to share personal recipes and stories, playful menus, and practical game plans and tips for making your gatherings go smoothly. You'll find everything you need to host a get-together so memorable that everybody will want to do it again soon (including you!).

"It's unique draw is the personal narrative and knowledge-sharing of each ATK chef, which will make this a hit."
