The beauty and art of entertaining is in setting the mood, creating the perfect menu, and placing your guests center stage. Our mothers and grandmothers exemplified true entertainment. For them, restaurant dining was usually a special day to be served…a way to celebrate a birthday or Mother’s Day. The rest of the time they hosted dinner parties at home. You can, too!
