A Loving Table

In their latest book, Kimberly Schlegel Whitman and Shelley Johnstone Paschke highlight how 30 style-setting women (including our very own Alessandra Branca!) pay tribute to the ways 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 or blending inherited dinnerware and decorative pieces in their modern tables, each style maker shares tips and lessons in entertaining that she learned from the women in her life. From formal to casual occasions, city to country, and grand to intimate, indoor and outdoor, each table tells a story about how these women host guests at their tables.
