"  Fall has put a crisp snap in the air, so why not start planning cozy dinners that have a minimum of bother? Think simple: Classic home cooking is something that will surprise even the most jaded guest and allow you to have fun at your own party without fussing too much. I was invited to a dinner at a fancy building on Fifth Avenue and went expecting a long, elaborate affair. Surprise! My hostess offered pasta al pomodoro served buffet style at a big table. Even a personage as august as the late, great Paris socialite Baron Alexis de Red\u00E9 knew the value of keeping things simple when it came to food. A star-studded luncheon I attended at his apartment in H\u00F4tel Lambert, the grandest house in town, was nothing more complicated than cheese souffl\u00E9 and a green salad. If you need more inspiration, let me suggest you buy a copy of Park Avenue Potluck (Rizzoli, $35), a timeless, zesty compilation of smart entertaining tips, or its brand new companion, Park Avenue Potluck Celebrations, out this month (Rizzoli, $35). Both volumes feature and delicious recipes from savvy society swans such as Dayssi Olarte de Kanavos and Coco Kopelman. With glamorous gals like those leading the way, how can you go wrong?
