Inspiring tables and entertaining styles of 34 tastemakers in their regions or society at large show how they keep traditions passed down from mothers and grandmothers alive in their families. Thirty style-setting women pay tribute to how their mothers and grandmothers have influenced their own styles of entertaining at home. Whether they proudly incorporate recipes passed down from a grandmother' s collection or follow a mother' s lessons for making guests feel comfortable, it is clear that family role models have had a strong influence. Blending inherited dinnerware or decorative pieces in their modern tables is also big in the way women embrace their heritage for entertaining. From formal to casual occasions, city to country, and grand to intimate, indoor and outdoor tables beautifully designed tell a story about how these women host guests at their tables. Each style maker shares tips and lessons in entertaining that she learned from the women in her life. Tip boxes from each generation will help the readers reproduce the ideas and perpetuate their own familial traditions. ' A Loving Table is an elaborate, luxuriant hostess book whose photographs of table settings are worth second and third looks; some may inspire new family traditions. ' - Camille-Yvette Welsch - Foreword Reviews
"A Loving Table expresses the joy of gathering with families and friends for lavish meals. Full of gorgeous pictures and delights of colors and textures to feast on, the settings represent a broad array of linens, sculpture, flatware, and unexpected items. A Loving Table is an elaborate, luxuriant hostess book whose photographs of table settings are worth second and third looks; some may inspire new family traditions. "--Camille-Yvette Welsch "Foreword Reviews" (1/1/2022 12:00:00 AM)
