Tanji is always asked for her recommendations, whether it’s for cooking tips and recipes or the tools and travel must-haves she relies on each day. And we’re answering the call!
This week: our picks for a dazzling summer dinner party.
August Wren Lobster Platter
Channel the crisp, cool feel of New England with this gorgeous lobster serving platter from Anthropologie. Use it to present whole fish, as pictured above, or line it with oysters, crawfish, or shrimp for cocktail-hour appetizers. ($88)
Borrowed Blu Cotton Crinkle Napkins
These vintage-inspired, soft-as-butter napkins from Food52 were designed to feel homey and lived-in. Choose from an array of colors (you can even mix and match) that will warm up your table. ($89 for set of 4)
The Grab Bowl
This smart snacking bowl created by potter Bruce Larrabee features an ergonomic design, making it easier for you to transport edibles from room to room or indoors to outdoors while also adding a touch of natural beauty to any surface. ($28)
BBQ Serving Board Set
This oversized board from Mark & Graham will brand you as the ultimate grill master! The carved-in divots lining the board are great for holding sauces and dips on the one side (in the three rectangular dishes that come with the set) and crudités or munchies on the other. You can even personalize the board with an engraved name, making this a wonderful gift or charcuterie platter. ($169)
Glass and Acacia Wood Drink Dispenser with Stand
This sleek and modern drink dispenser from World Market can pull double-duty at dinner parties: Use it for a self-serve water station (try floating some sliced cucumber or fruit for a subtle hint of flavor) or fill it with a batched cocktail for the 21-and-up crowd. ($50)
