The winter holidays are a wonderful time to host an intimate gathering for friends or family. A table for four or six allows a host to serve prepared plates, a special treat in a season traditionally filled with cocktail nibbles or passed dishes. It’s the perfect time to share favorite recipes—the mushroom toasts and charred green beans with beets are favorites in my family.
