Winter’s Hottest Dinner Party

If hosting stresses you out, this one’s for you. Hot pot is the rare dinner party that asks almost nothing of the host and gives everything back. Chef Natasha Pickowicz, who grew up eating this homey Chinese meal, calls it the ultimate ice breaker. Four to five guests. One bubbling pot of broth.

In her new cookbook Everyone Hot Pot, four-time James Beard nominee Chef Natasha Pickowicz shares more than fifty recipes, along with a guide to hosting essentials and how to pull it all together.
