Three hands-off centerpieces to simplify holiday hosting

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 15:34:32 GMT

By Ali Slagle, The New Your TimesThoughtful guests often offer to lend a hand in the kitchen, but they don’t have to be sous-chefs if you put your oven to work instead.When you let ingredients luxuriate in the oven, you end up with less prep work and no nerve-wracking, last-minute sautéing in front of an audience. A low-and-slow roast or braise even frees you up to clean the house, set the table, stir together drinks and mingle with company.Logistical perks aside, these three dishes also taste incredibly rich given their minimal effort.
