Charlotte Moss inspires readers to imbue everyday life with
elegance and romance. Moss focuses on events as small as breakfast
in bed or tea in the afternoon or as elaborate as a festive
Christmas luncheon or large dinner party and the artifacts of our
lives (china, silver, linen) to create the backdrop for a life well
lived. Moss celebrates the day-to-day by bringing her enthusiasm
and impeccable style to every domestic activity. Setting the table
becomes a joy when putting together stylish combinations of place
mats, monogrammed linens, china, tableware, curios, and flowers.
From tasteful meals for one to grand occasions for friends and
family, Moss chronicles her own aptitude for hospitality. Style
icons are conjured for their entertaining savvy: Pauline de
Rothschild for her pioneering tabletop decoration, Marjorie
Merriweather Post for her organizational precision, Lesley Blanch
for her introduction of exotic delights to the table, and Elsie de
Wolfe for her always-right recipes. Butlers pantries are explored.
Linen closets are catalogued. Flowers are collected from the garden
and artfully arranged for a memorable meal. Moss invites you into
her world to discover how to make everyday an occasion.
Berthold has found himself stuck with an overabundance of both
smoked and dried squid! Perhaps the staff at Nobu can come up with
a few bright ideas to put it to use... It's the 10th volume of the
otherworldly gourmet fantasy story, where delicious dishes nourish
both body and soul.
