Dinner at Our Place

From the covetable cookware brand Our Place (makers of the super-popular Always Pan®), this entertaining cookbook features more than 100 dinner party–worthy recipes and menus that celebrate culture and community.

Our Place, the cookware brand that took the food world by storm, has always been about more than their brilliantly designed products—it’s about bringing people together, celebrating cultures, and cultivating connections. And what better way to do that, than through sharing a meal? Co-founder and CEO Shiza Shahid invited 11 pioneering tastemakers, chefs, and restauranteurs to take a month and throw a dinner party for you to join. In Dinner at Our Place, you’ll find more than 100 recipes and 12 specially curated dinner parties, plus playlists, mood lighting guides, plating philosophies, scripts for talking to your fishmonger, and so much more:

This comprehensive entertaining guide, complete with curated menus, unbeatable vibes, and a diverse array of delicious and achievable recipes (think Saffron Tachin, Whole Salt-Roasted Fish, Shiso Onigiri, Chili Chocolate Sheet Cake, a Spritz’groni, and more), is a stylish invitation to host, throw your favorite apron on, and make a party out of cooking and eating.

Our Place is a modern kitchenware brand, and so much more. Everything they do—from the products they design to the stories they share—is rooted in their mission to make cooking and sharing a meal easier and more joyful. They believe in the transformative power of uplifting the differences in how people cook and eat together, and that sharing our traditions, new and old, will help bring the disparate edges of the world closer together.
