Welcome to the second Lark book! The recipes you will find in my upcoming book represent the Lark mission of eating clean all week and then splurging on the weekend. Join me as I guide you through eleven fabulous party ideas.

Why have a party at home? Well, why not? These chapters are presented as party suggestions with a full menu, ideas to shortcut your preparation time and to encourage friends and family to get involved. Paired with drinks from my first book, you'll find everything needed in the menus to enjoy your own gatherings by making entertaining at home accessible.

Truth be told, I don’t especially like the word "entertaining". It sounds like a lot of work; it sounds like you're planning to juggle for your guests, have an itinerary for the evening, or need to clean your house! I stand up against that notion and ask that you just open your door, open your home, make some simple food, and surround yourself with good people.

What’s that you say? Hosting big parties isn't your thing? Maybe you're suffering through a global pandemic? Not a problem! Make it a party for two and have plenty of leftovers throughout the week. This is your party, so your rules!

The art of gathering is such a gift, and I'm so happy to share it with all of you. Let's celebrate LARK style!

On a Lark,

Kate
