"Gorgeous photographs of homes and feasts coupled with nuggets of
entertaining wisdom will make you long to be a guest at the homes
in the people featured in the book." —FORBES.COM
"Turning the pages of Pierre Sauvage’s Be My Guest feels something
like pulling up a seat at the tables of 20 gracious hosts.
Photographer Ambroise Tézenas provides enchanting ambient
perspectives on the homes of industry creatives, such as Catherine
and Manuel Canovas, Carolina Irving, Robert Couturier, and Martina
Mondadori. Notions on the art of entertaining unfurl from inside a
cottage in Portugal, a restored château in Normandy, a townhouse in
Manhattan, and beyond. But don’t expect an austere entertaining
rule book, as these gracious hosts overarchingly abide by the
principles of keeping the party simple and the guests at ease.
Before bidding adieu, each host shares a choice dish or two for the
volume’s humble recipe collection. Because, as Couturier insists, a
party must always have a choice of two desserts. Like the book,
it’s a satisfyingly sweet take."

recipes, tried and true and often handed down." —FLOWER

“Christmas Eve dinner is an event that I really enjoy preparing
every year. Although I am decidedly Latin, the Christmas atmosphere
always reminds me of England. I like the idea of a very classic
Christmas in red and green. I arranged pewter sets on a green
corduroy tablecloth. I created the Holly Table Service especially
for the occasion and on the bread plates I painted each guest’s
first name. To the left of each plate, crackers have been placed.
In the center of the table I arranged blown-glass carafes that I
had made in the shape of a tree for the occasion. Winter flowers
including hellebores, Mona Lisa, and ranunculus are arranged in
cups and mixed with other silver objects like artichokes and
fennels. At Christmas, the menu is always easy, since it is often
traditional. This year it will be Reblochon cheese pie, dill-cured
salmon, and vanilla ice cream with Amarena cherries. I love serving
unique, family-friendly, and comforting dishes more than ever.”
