Colu Henry has many titles to her name—author, recipe developer, NYT contributor and food-lifestyle influencer. We’re pleased to say she now has another…Evite #nothingfancydinnerparty planner!
Colu’s #NothingFancyDinnerParty
Must-have cheese for charcuterie board: Jasper Hill Farm's Harbison
Home-cooked specialty: Fennel-Rubbed Pork Shoulder with Creamy White Beans and Herb Oil or Smoky and Spicy Shrimp with Anchovy Butter and Fregola. Both are in my new book "Colu Cooks: Easy Fancy Food."
Order-in: If I'm feeling lazy, I'll call in Fried Chicken from Gracie's and focus on the sides!
Beloved beverage: Sotelo's 2020 Rosé en Flor
Must-have hosting item from Amazon: Rona's ISO wine glasses. They come in a 12-pack and are durable and chic.
Top pick for flowers: Depends on the season. Roses of all different colors and varieties always speak to me.
Listening to: My friend Eliott made this "mix for Colu" for my book party. It's still my go-to. A lot of '60s and '70s artists—it's brilliant.
Go-to gift for the host/hostess with everything: Bubble bath. They can use it to soak after a big night.
Dessert of choice: A glass of Oloroso sherry and the funkiest cheese I can find.
Vegan or GF snack option: Green Goddess Dip with crudité.
Go-to conversation starter: "Tell me everything! How about we start there?"
