Anybody under the age of 35 knows that Friendsgiving is the new Thanksgiving, and this essential guide has everything you need to know for throwing the ultimate Friendsgiving (think Turkey Day but with your friends). Everything you love about Thanksgiving— such as the food and the wine— without the things you dread— such as the nagging family members and uncomfortable conversations. Friendsgiving is your opportunity to throw a festive dinner party with friends old and new.
This book is not about being a perfect host or slaving over a turkey in the oven (although you can find a turkey recipe here for those who want it), it’s about creating a fun, stress-free party where you can eat, drink, and laugh with friends. Not your typical Thanksgiving, a Friendsgiving party is where you can show off your creativity. Now, you can make some new foods that you never thought would work for Thanksgiving but always wanted to try. Or if you want to keep it classic, this is just another reason to have Thanksgiving twice!
Organized by theme, this Friendsgiving guide will provide you with 25 recipes and inspiration for various parties— with menus including Southern, Latin, Modern, and Vegan, Gluten-Free. The simple, easy recipes will include options for variations and will even provide suggestions for what to make and what to assign to guests (because let’s face it, your friends should pitch in too). Handy timelines, shopping tips, and music playlists, will help you with planning ahead so you can have a stress-free party that’s actually fun!
We know Thanksgiving is a time to be grateful for family, but Friendsgiving is time to be thankful for friends. So whether you want to catch up with friends before the holiday craze, throw a rager with old college buddies, or just get together with those closest to you, this gifty book will provide you with the tools you need for an Instagram-worthy Friendsgiving.
