Freshen Up Your Kitchen With These New Cookbooks, Pantry Staples, and More

I love hosting dinner parties, but the amount of work required makes this a less-frequent occurrence than I'd like. Enter Kitchit Tonight, a service that brings a chef to your kitchen to cook a three-course dinner, plate and serve the meal, and even do the dishes afterward so that you can enjoy your evening, stress-free. Three rotating seasonal menus are available at a given time, and reservations can be made as late as the same day (availability pending), all for the reasonable cost of $39 per person.
