Entertain not only captures the essence of modern entertaining, but makes it achievable, whether you are a seasoned hostess or novice. From hosting an unforgettable kitchen tea, complete with fun invitations and knock-out décor, to hosting an intimate wedding that won’t blow the budget. Entertain guides the reader through the entire process, including invitations, creating the right atmosphere with table settings and decorations, detailed menu plans with irresistible recipes and well-planned timelines.

Informative chapters such as Mother’s and Father’s Day, Easter, Summer Braai, Stork Party, Cocktail Party and Christmas will help you organise a flawless party that will make guests feel extra special. Cheese and Wine and Ladies’ Lunch, with useful information about choosing cheese, pairing wine and making perfect coffee and tea, leaves the reader well-versed in the finer details.

There is a chapter dedicated to step-by-step information and photographs of more complicated preparation techniques so that even the more daunting tasks are easy to achieve. This is a great resource for anyone who is keen on hosting parties with style, confidence and ease – the modern yet elegant touch of the authors makes for a book that will be used extensively by both young and old.
