PALM BEACH ENTERTAINING offers unprecedented entrée into the exclusive world of Palm Beach, renowned for its lavish lifestyle and grand parties. This personal invitation into the private homes of Palm Beach’s most-celebrated members of society shows how to bring high style to your own gatherings at home. More than twenty hosts open their doors, revealing their secrets for entertaining along with one hundred of their most tried-and-true recipes. And it is all done in the spirit of giving — the net proceeds from the book benefit the Children’s Home Society of Florida, a charitable organization with a proven network of adoption, early childhood development, and family support services.
From daytime gatherings that are as well-orchestrated as they are chic, to outdoor fêtes that embrace the temperate weather of Palm Beach, and highlight world cuisine, the events featured range from artistic celebrations to casual lunches at home, to state affairs. Featured hosts include fashion icon Arnold Scaasi, renowned art collector Beth Rudin DeWoody, and interior designer Celerie Kemble. Included are tips for setting a personalized table, creating a warm mood, and choosing crowd-pleasing dishes. Recipes include Kit Pannill’s Tomato Pudding, Kathryn Vecellio’s Lobster “Risotto,” and James Patterson’s Grandma’s Chocolate Cake. Entertaining in Palm Beach style has never been easier!
