PEOPLE Spring Entertaining 2025
Step into spring with Wishbone Kitchen's Meredith Hayden as she hosts a perfect party and gives a first look at her new cookbook, plus entertainment tips and more
It's a not-so-secret secret amongst my friends that I'm firmly a "winter girl," obsessed with cozy sweaters and comforting stews.
This year, though, even I am feeling the allure of spring. New York streets are lined with colorful tulips, the farmers' market is bursting with vibrant-colored vegetables — could this be the year I get into ramps? — and in ways big and small, the days simply feel filled with possibilities.
The PEOPLE staff was right there with me for our Spring Entertaining issue. We found inspiration in our cover star Meredith Hayden, the creator behind Wishbone Kitchen, who shares how she turned her passion for cooking into a culinary empire. Also, let me be the first to nominate her boozy blueberry and basil lemonade as the official sip of spring.
Elsewhere in the issue, our picks for beautiful and affordable home products will get you and your backyard ready for gatherings all season long.
The easiest cake trend of the season takes center stage as senior editor Ana Calderone (one of the best bakers I know) shows how surprisingly easy it is to turn a carrot cake into a showstopper. Plus, our favorite celebrity chefs reveal their tips for turning out perfect bakes every time.
I hope you'll find inspiration in these stories too. Now, let's get this season started!
