Great Gatherings
Macy’s Star Chefs Entertain at Home
Through Book Kitchen, Steve Siegelman and I concepted Great Gatherings for Macy's — a cookbook featuring 16 Culinary Council chefs each hosting a themed party. I led design, production, and photo art direction, managed print, and hired the editorial team, photographer, and stylists, delivering 30,000 finished copies for national distribution.

“It’s a cool concept. Readers get to graze on a chef’s party platter without having to invest in, say, an entire Todd English or Tyler Florence title. The 100-plus recipes are concise and easy to follow, and Maren Caruso’s vivid photography really pops off the page.
