Food & Wine and New York Times Cooking contributor Colu Henry collects her signature relaxed-but-impressive recipes that are perfect for cosy nights in.

Perfect for foodies but written with every home cook in mind, Better at Home is the essential cookbook for making any meal special.

Colu Henry’s life is filled with cooking for friends and being cooked for by friends. In both her Hudson, New York, and Nova Scotia homes, her active social life revolves around making meals feel special and cosy without being stressful or complicated.

Her collection of delicious recipes includes food and drinks to make an evening sparkle, from perfect cocktails like Negronis and Amaro Spritzes to tasty, snacky party food like Shrimp Butter, Crudo, and Eggplant Dip.

There are soul-satisfying vegetarian recipes for sides like Butter Rice with Roasted Tomatoes and Herbs, Braised Snap Peas, Lettuces and other Spring Things in a Bit of Cream, and big green salads like Little Gems with Avocado, Pistachios and Miso Honey Dressing.

There are the soups and stews that Colu has become known for, from a Cappelletti en Brodo with Mortadella Meatballs to a rich lentil stew.

Perfect for foodies but written with every home cook in mind, Better at Home is the essential cookbook for making any meal special.
