Dinner at My Place

“Ryan’s rules for a good dinner should be pinned above every stove: casual, collaborative, family-style, and above all, joyful. This is a book about connection as much as it is about cooking, and it shows in every recipe.”—Yotam Ottolenghi
“Ryan has a rare gift for making the extraordinary feel approachable. His recipes are endlessly creative, deeply intentional, and a reminder that some of life’s best moments happen around the table. There are cookbooks that teach you how to cook, and there are cookbooks that make you excited to cook. Dinner at My Place does both.”—Sarah Fennel, New York Times bestselling author of Sweet Tooth and founder of Broma Bakery
“I’ve been waiting years for a seat at one of Ryan’s legendary dinner parties, but honestly, this book is even better. From Not My Mama’s Eggplant Parm to Earl Grey Pudding Coupes with Salted Honey Whipped Cream, his recipes are unique and cheffy without ever feeling intimidating. Between his sample menus and hosting commandments, Ryan gives you everything you need to invite people in with confidence.”—Erin O’Brien, New York Times bestselling author of Dig In!
“Ryan understands that food is one of life’s greatest connectors. His recipes are beautiful, inviting, and made for sharing. This book will empower you to host with confidence and bring people together through home-cooked food.”—Maxine Sharf, New York Times bestselling author and creator of Maxi’s Kitchen
“Ryan has a remarkable gift for bringing people together around the table. He reminds us that we were made to live in community, and he continually inspires this generation to see hosting not as something intimidating, but as an invitation to create lasting memories through delicious food.”—Lauren Sephton, creator of Bright Moment Co.
“Dinner at My Place is more than a collection of delicious recipes, it’s a guide to bringing people together. Warm, inspiring, and genuinely approachable, this book is an invaluable resource for first-time hosts and seasoned dinner-party pros alike.” —Isabelle Heikens, food and entertaining creator
