The Food52 newsletter 'Come on Over' focuses on hosting tips, especially during cold weather. The author shares her successful dinner party experience despite snowy forecasts, highlighting chili as a perfect, inviting meal. She emphasizes the importance of creating a self-serve 'build-your-own-bowl' buffet with toppings, utilizing bright decor to uplift spirits, and the cozy ambiance created by candlelight. The post celebrates both practical hosting advice and the joy of gathering friends, showcasing the ease and warmth that can be crafted even on chilly days.
Few people can resist a big batch of chili on a 31 degree day, and I love that it's a meal you don't have to plate. Ask friends to bring toppings—from cheese to avocado to Fritos—and decant them to make a build-your-own-bowl station near the stove.
I light tapers all year round, but something about a winter table with candlelight feels especially cozy. I like how this set of pillars gives you glow and a tablescape all at once, no candle holders needed.
