A sweet cookbook full of ides for anyone hosting their friends or having a dinner party. The recipes are well set out and easy to follow

I really loved this cookbook!!

Thanks so much to NetGalley and the publishers for letting me access this book in exchange for my feedback.

This is such a fun cookbook! There are so many times that hosting people becomes all about the preparation for me, and once everyone arrives, I'm too tired to enjoy the company. I loved the author's take on simple recipes in order to create a welcoming atmosphere and to enjoy the time you have with friends. Since my family has so much drama, I covet my energy and space like you wouldn't believe. This was a great reminder that you can embrace the energy/vibe you want to have to celebrate with food and friends, without the hassle of family drama to bring you down.

Thank you so much to the publisher for access to this cookbook! These are my honest thoughts!

My husband is in the Army and each year he and I host a Thanksgiving dinner for single soldiers or members of his unit unable to go home for the holiday. I loved this Friendsgiving Cookbook and I'm really excited to try some of the recipes. I think my young children will enjoy a lot of the recipes so I'll be sampling way before Thanksgiving time.

Thank you to NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group – Rock Point for providing me a digital reviewer copy in exchange for my honest thoughts.

I’m so thankful for books that inspire my cooking, but invite us into greater community. This book takes me beyond the kitchen and gives me the opportunity and inspiration to care for others as well!

I received this book for netgalley in exchange for a review.
Who doesn't love a cookbook? I thought the recipes in here were so delicious definitely made me hungry. Gonna have to try these out next year.

I love Friendsgiving and I LOVE this cookbook. It’s packed full of great recipes for the whole meal (apps to desserts). And it’s really cute with kitschy names and adorable illustrations.

Ready to celebrate "Thanksgiving without the family drama"?

Invite some pals over for a nontraditional feast. There's meatballs, brisket, salmon, and shrimp . . . and only two recipes involving turkey. Here be appetizers, main dishes, no-meat sides, and most importantly - desserts. Believe it or not, there are even a few dishes noncooks like me can make - chicken 'n waffles using frozen waffles, and frozen chicken nuggets with some mixed berries tossed into the mix. Voila!

Homey illustrations decorate the book, but there are gorgeous color photos of all the food.

I would have preferred a few more recipes, truth be told, as the book clocks in at only a little over a hundred pages, but I certainly can't argue with the sentiment. You only get so many Thanksgivings in your life . . . why not spend the day with "those you've chosen as family"?

I received an advance reader copy of this book to read in exchange for an honest review via netgalley and the publishers.

The Friendsgiving Cookbook is a fun and Cookbook with some great recipes to share with your friends and make together or bring as dishes to get-togethers and enjoy good food and good company together. I've never been to or took part in a friendsgiving event and I'm really endeared by them and would love to host one with my friends. There's some good recipe ideas within this book that are perfect for Autumn especially and I'll be trying a few out myself.

Very simple, cute cookbook definitely geared towards a younger crowd. There’s a good mix of classic staples and more inventive options, ie pumpkin crème brûlée made with tofu? Great photography work.

We do Friendsgiving in our neighborhood and I was really looking forward to the recipes in this book. It was solid read with a good mix of recipes that can be used for when having friends over.

This is a great book for a Friendsgiving or a Family Thanksgiving. It is loaded with many great ideas for foods and games. Some of the names of the food are very creative- Let’s get mashed .

I did make some of the recipes- My favorite was The Thank you Matcha 🍵 Sponge Cake it was very delicious.

What I also appreciated was the vegan and vegetarian recipes, I do have family and friends who are in this category, so I appreciate the recipes.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

The Friendsgiving Cookbook by Taylor Vance is the perfect resource for those who want to enjoy the joy of Thanksgiving without the stress of family drama. This cookbook offers an easy-going approach to creating a fun and unforgettable occasion with friends. It provides insight and advice for hosting a drama-free gathering, where eating and drinking take the spotlight.

By starting your own annual Friendsgiving tradition, you can release yourself from the tension and stress typically associated with big family gatherings. The book features tantalizing recipes for Graze All Day Appetizers, Potluck Main Attractions, No Meat Sides for No Meat Friends, and an Extra-Long Dessert Spread. With 50 easy and delicious recipes, you’ll have plenty of options to choose from.

The Friendsgiving Cookbook also includes “A Little Extra…but in a Good Way” sidebars throughout the book. These provide valuable tips for food preparation, fun anecdotes, and helpful hints to make your Friendsgiving a super smash. The book encourages you to put new twists on old favorites for both the festivities and the feast.

The cover of this cookbook perfectly captures the essence of Thanksgiving. It is nicely laid out with colorful illustrations, photos, and easy-to-follow recipes. The inclusion of “little extras” such as tips and hints accompanying most of the recipes is a nice touch. Personally, I tried the “La Mia Famiglia Meatballs” and the “#Blessed Chocolate Bread,” and both were delicious! I am eagerly looking forward to making “The Best Stuffed Turkey Breast” this Thanksgiving.

One minor issue I had with this cookbook is that I wish there were more Thanksgiving-themed recipes. However, overall, The Friendsgiving Cookbook would be a great addition to anyone’s cookbook collection.

Friendsgiving has become a really popular event in the last few years. If you would like to host your own Friendsgiving this is the cookbook for you. It is full of fall recipes that will compliment you normal Thanksgiving menu without stepping on it's toes. It starts with some delicious looking appetizers that you can nibble on all day such as Make Me Mini Ham Quiche or Clique Me Charcuterie Board. Then we move on to the main attractions such as Thanksgiving Panini, Go Off Brisket, or Soy Grateful Salmon. There are vegan options for those friends that might fall into that category. Then there are sides; Steve Requested Fried Green Beans, Don't Kale My Chickpea Vibe, Roasty Toasty Brussels and Potluck Potato Salad. And let's not forget the desserts. Johnny's Already Gone Pecan pie Bites might make it to my table this year. Nutty Carmen's Caramel Apples look great too. Hope you will check out this cookbook whether you plan a Friendsgiving or not.

The Friendsgiving Cookbook provides a lot of great recipes that seem easy to make and are crowd-pleasers. I loved the design and aesthetic of the book, especially the title pages for each section. The little accent images of pumpkins and leaves on the recipe pages just brings everything together. It's a good book to have around for Thanksgiving. The only thing I wish is that the main dishes had more vegetarian options. There's an entire section for meatless sides which is amazing, but the mains are lacking in that regard. Otherwise, I'd be happy to purchase this cookbook.

The Friendsgiving Cookbook is a great compilation of recipes for various Friendsgiving gatherings. Whether your guests are vegetarian, vegan or have no dietary restrictions, this cookbook has options for all guests. The cookbook is split into appetizers, main entrees, dishes for "no meat friends," and desserts.

Thank you to NetGalley and to the publisher for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

The Friendsgiving Cookbook is precisely the book I have dreaming of! With gorgeous photos, delicious but approachable recipes, and a fun layout. I loved this book, and I can't wait to try the recipes!

A comprehensive book of delicious recipes that=suit family cooking and special occasions with friends. I liked the variety of recipes throughout the book and how they could be combined in any fashion to make a great menu for entertaining.

The Friendsgiving Cookbook is a nice collection of Thanksgiving dishes. It includes appetizers, potluck main attractions, vegetarian recipes, desserts, and drinks. I liked the extra notes that are on a lot of the recipes!

If you don't have a Thanksgiving cookbook, this might be a good fit for you. There are a lot of tasty recipes, ranging from easy to more complicated, so if you need to bring a dish to pass for Friendsgiving, this will definitely give you some great ideas!

Thanks Netgalley and the publisher for the opportunity to review this eARC in exchange for my honest review on the book!
