Chefanie founder and author Stephanie Nass celebrated the launch of her debut book, Swing By!, published by Rizzoli. In this fresh guide, Stephanie reimagines hosting by blending classic elegance with modern creativity. With her experience organizing events for celebrities, royals, and luxury brands, she shares her expertise on how to turn any gathering into a memorable occasion.

Organized by party type, Swing By! features 16 unique concepts, from playful pizza parties to alpine-inspired dinners, complete with hand-painted menus, crowd-pleasing recipes, and practical hosting tips.

Alix Strauss, Anu Dugbal, Casey Kohlberg, Lilah Ramzi, Marcy Blum, Trinidad Alamos, Zachary Weiss, and other guests recently gathered at Christie’s to celebrate the launch. Attendees enjoyed an array of savory and sweet pies, personally prepared by Stephanie, with some recipes straight from the book alongside her personal favorites.

The evening's drinks were generously provided by Asti Spumante and Moscato d'Asti.

Swing By! is now available online and at the Rizzoli bookstore.
