Some hosts have a whole system down pat – and Rilka is one of them. Ahead of your own Longest Table, we asked her to share the dishes she comes back to again and again. Simple enough for a weeknight, impressive enough for a table full of guests.
Here's her full menu, course by course. Click through for each recipe.

Mains
Rilka's go-to (well, two of them – because you can’t choose just one) for feeding a full table without the stress.
Rilka's Mushroom Lasagne — comforting, can be made ahead, and always disappears fast.Rilka's Go-To Japanese Dish for Hosting — her reliable pick when she wants something a little different.
Dessert
Rilka's Quick and Easy Desserts — sweet, simple, and no last-minute panic required.
Hosting tip from Rilka: pick two or three dishes you can prep ahead, so you're not stuck in the kitchen when your guests arrive. The goal is a table full of good food and good company – not perfection.
