All of which means I’m cooking lots of big celebratory group dinners, some of them cooked in unfamiliar kitchens, and most of them served on tables we’ve dragged outside. Late summer has also always been my season of family vacations, weekends away with big groups of friends, and birthday dinners.
And I’ve found that something about the fact that we all know summer is coming to an end makes people more willing to stay up past bedtime lingering over the table long after the dishes have been cleared, especially if that table is set out in the backyard or under the stars on the deck or patio and lit only by candles. Instead, grill or roast your meat or fish meat in advance and serve it cold or at room temperature with homemade sauce on the side.

Plus it’s so hot out that no one wants to eat anything fresh off the skillet anyway so you can put aside any worries of trying to cook and host at the same time. The produce is so good you hardly have to do anything to it to serve it-a platter of sliced tomatoes simply drizzled in olive oil and sprinkled in salt becomes a desirable side dish.
Late summer is the easiest time of year to throw a dinner party.
