Dennis Basso Hosts A Cocktail For Alex Hitz’s Occasions To Celebrate
More From Forbes Award-winning celebrity chef and tastemaker Alex Hitz has just released his third book, Occasions to Celebrate: Cooking and Entertaining With Style. Filled with tips on how to give elegant yet relaxed dinners, the book is a roadmap to making sure that one’s guests have the best time possible. What better way to celebrate a book about celebrations than to give a party? Dennis Basso did just that last Thursday night, to a packed house at his Madison Avenue flagship. “I love to entertain, and I love beautiful things,” said Basso. “My husband Michael and I prefer to cook at home, and we prefer not to use caterers. The recipes in Alex’s book are wonderful, we love him, and he is an amazing host. I wanted to give this party for him because I feel connected to his book – the book is gorgeous.” Friends came from far and wide to join in the fun and buy a book, but if they arrived on the late side, they were out of luck: copies that night sold out.
