How to keep guests out of the kitchen (when you're busy preparing Thanksgiving dinner)
SalonThis story first appeared on Food52, an online community that gives you everything you need for a happier kitchen and home – that means tested recipes, a shop full of beautiful products, a cooking hotline, and everything in between! I am here, today, to help assuage some of those worries and talk a little bit about dinner party etiquette, a topic that sounds antiquated when spoken aloud but which still plagues us while we lie awake at night, worrying over place settings. Work with what you've got, and present your plan confidently; your guests will marvel at your grace, whether they're digging into cornbread stuffing or Detroit-style pizza. You're the host, which means you make the rules, and if you've got a hot chicken and a room temperature plate of roast carrots, you should serve them both proudly. And if things are feeling a little hairy half an hour before you've scheduled dinner, don't be afraid to ask for help.
