Holiday Entertaining

A Sushi Party

December 3, 2011

We asked the Taste team for their best holiday party ideas, allowing them five items from the shop on us.

"Sushi is my idea of the ultimate luxury; it's what I most miss now that I don't have an expense account. So, if someone else were paying, I'd throw a sushi party for my friends. And to drink, I'd pour either the Chablis Les Preuses or the Blanc de Valandraud." - Ruth Reichl
