Brittney is the founder of Bluestone & Basil, a home-and-table brand from the New York suburbs. Self-taught and unhurried, she writes recipes, hosting plans and stories for people who want friends at the table on a Thursday without giving the whole day to it.

Brittney is the founder of Bluestone & Basil, a home-and-table brand from the suburbs of New York. She never trained as a chef. She learned the way most people do, by feeding a family and getting it wrong first. Bluestone & Basil is built around four things: recipes, inspiration for the table, the garden, and hosting, from prepared meals to small-event catering. Its rules are simple: the rule of five, greet with a drink, family table and family style, prep yesterday and enjoy today. She writes Notes from the Table, a weekly letter, and shares the day-to-day at @bluestoneandbasil on Instagram.

Brittney is the founder of Bluestone & Basil, a home-and-table brand from Westchester, New York, where she lives with her husband and children and, most nights, figures out dinner at the last minute like everyone else. She never trained as a chef and never worked in a kitchen. Everything she knows she taught herself, usually by getting it wrong first, over years of having people over. Bluestone & Basil grew out of that: a belief that having friends at the table should not take a week of preparation, and that the point of the evening is the people, not the theme. The brand is built around four things: recipes, inspiration for the table, the garden, and hosting, from prepared meals to small-event catering. Its rules are simple: the rule of five, greet with a drink, family table and family style, prep yesterday and enjoy today. Brittney writes Notes from the Table, a weekly letter, publishes recipes and hosting plans at bluestoneandbasil.com, and shares the day-to-day at @bluestoneandbasil. She is available for prepared meals and small-event catering in Westchester and the New York area, brand partnerships, and appearances.
