Entertaining By Design

Discover the art of effortless entertaining with 17 seasonal gatherings made simple, stylish, and soulful, complete with 18 recipes and fabulous decor tips. From interior designer and style maven Lorna Gross, Entertaining by Design is a collection of accessible gatherings, organized by season, from a small dinner to post-Christmas breakfast celebration. Each gathering is designed to be instructional, inspirational, and doable for anyone by using tableware and decorations you may already have along with carefully chosen decorative items like place cards or serving platters that can cost as little or as much as your budget allows. Each gathering includes suggestions for the best way to invite your guests—sometimes, that’s just a well-thought-out email—types of tableware, music suggestions to set the mood, and a colour scheme to tie everything together. Lorna has shared a few of her favourite recipes that are satisfying, delicious, and certain to get the party started.
