If you love to entertain, this book is a must-have for your library. It’s filled with gorgeous photographs; chic, fun, and fabulous ideas; delicious recipes; and helpful tips that will inspire your next party, whether large, small, formal or informal. This book has it all!

Inspiration galore! From the cover to the last page. You are pulled in with the beautiful pictures and elegant writing. I could not put this book down. It was like taking a trip along with Ronda Carman through each of these events. She inspires you with amazing ideas for your next event or party.

This is a sumptuous collection of beautiful tablescapes, recipes and a glimpse into the creative, beautiful way that these hosts/hostesses have honed their sensual eye and art directed a party scene at perfect pitch. These images are a collection of how guests want to be made to feel when being entertained at home. These hosts/hostesses have set the tone for a memorable event - the epitome of ambiance!

This is a very interesting book to me. The pictures are beautiful and of perfect quality. The different portrayals are interesting and I feel like I'm invited to each of their tables.

This is the prettiest book! I love how Ronda combines designers and entertaining in her new book! The photography is amazing and one page is better than the one before! Can not say enough about it!!! All of my favorite things in one place!

A really great book with great ideas...this review sounds lame, but putting my money where my mouth was...after purchase of one this book became my go-to Christmas gift for 2020 and bought 30 more. Speaks for itself!

Rarely do you find a book so gorgeous and also beautifully written. A gem I know I will keep forever in my library and refer to over and over.

This is another Book to add to my Collection. A LOVELY Book, a real treat to dip into at the end of a Busy day. I thoroughly recommend this to anyone who cares about laying a Beautiful Table. Gorgeous Pictures!!

Super parfait R.A.S.

I received her book just past weekend and it is the perfect weekend book! It is very much like her other interiour design book. Plenty of people are introduced and their idea of entertaining. Personally, I am not sure how much I learn from it, as I can entertain and know how to polish silver, cut flowers etc., but the concept that not just pictures are shown, but that each host is talking about their personal advice and what makes it perfect for them, is a very good one and a lot of work will have gone into that. In that way, it is properly better than many other books covering the same subject. It is also very pleasant to look at, but I deduct one star, as for me, there were no breathtaking table settings, or where I felt completely inspired because I have never seen anything like it, but it is a great little book to either curl up on the sofa or outside with a glass of wine and read through it and it is one of those books, you need to read and not just to look at. Those things are also very much personal taste and it is therefore just my own impression and otehrs might be over the moon by the decor. I also like that each person is sharing recipes incl. for drinks. It would also make a great gift. I would recommend the book!

I found many of the photos outdated and the recipes simple and uninspiring. Details were very scant in places. I was hoping it would be more along the lines of the Veranda book called Entertaining by Clinton Smith (which I loved) but overall it was disappointing.

Très plaisant à feuilleter
