Part-memoir, part-recipe book, and entirely its own thing, To Entertain is the debut by London-based writer and cook Jago Rackham — a genre-defying guide to the dinner party as a way of life. Drawn from years of hosting in a succession of rented east London flats, and inspired by an old household account book handed down to his grandmother, the book moves through sections like "Money," "Dinners for Lovers," and "Quiet, Shy Guests and Anxious Hosts," weaving recipes and diary entries with a quiet, deeply felt argument for gathering people around a table with kindness. Illustrated throughout by artist Faye Wei Wei. Published by Robinson (2026).
