Looking for your next Friendsgiving hit, weeknight dinner savior, or party move that sparks a chorus of "Whoa, what is THAT?"

The Pham family's wild stories mingle with doable, crowd-pleasing recipes:
Salmon ceviche on black sesame crackers Wrap feasts overflowing with roasted lemongrass ribeye Make-ahead Prawn and Brown-Butter-Leek dumplings
Divided into five sections covering batch cocktails (C Pha Jello Shot, anyone?), wraps you can make tableside, extra fancy party boards (impressive looking, yet actually simple), make-ahead dumplings, and one-pot wonders that can simmer all day, this is the essential entertaining cookbook you didn't know you needed.
With Ph_x1EDF_nomenal Nights, every night shared with friends and family is a phenomenal night. Loud, generous, and completely delicious. Just like the best parties always are.
