Holiday cooking essentials: for your last minute gathering

We've all been there. Your friend cancels last minute, and now you're hosting their annual holiday gathering. Ten people are coming over tomorrow. Panic sets in, but before you spiral, you take inventory of your pantry, the treasure trove of everything you've been testing lately, and breathe a sigh of relief.

You spot a bottle of Flamingo Estate's Persian Vinegar, so naturally, oysters make the menu. Boxes of Brami pasta are waiting to be cooked up in your Kana Dutch oven. Entrée, check! Your olive oil collection has been stocked lately, so what's your move? Yiayia and Friends focaccia and Branche olive oil cake paired with Alec’s Ice Cream for dessert.

The group chat just asked what they should bring, so sides and wine are covered. Your Hamkke dinnerware set is ready to go. Crisis averted!
