The GOOD THINGS Good Gathering Kit is a fun, warm, super usable guide to help people create a dinner ritual of their own, inspired by Samin’s beloved weekly Monday dinners and the bigger ideas of connection, community, and gathering that run throughout Good Things.

The kit gives readers a little bit of everything they need to actually try this themselves: the story of how Samin’s Monday dinners first came to be, her advice for creating a gathering that people can realistically keep coming back to, three delicious and approachable recipes from Good Things, a helpful FAQ for anyone thinking this sounds amazing, but how do I actually pull it off?, and plenty of encouragement to let go of perfection and just get people around the table.

The big idea running through the whole thing is really simple and lovely: the meal doesn’t have to be elaborate, the table doesn’t have to be perfect, and you definitely don’t have to be an expert host. What matters is making the time, showing up for each other, and turning something as ordinary as dinner into a ritual that brings people together.
