"I love this book!! A warm, welcome, and much-needed look at how to
infuse some exuberance and personality into your dinner table;
Whoopi, with a lifetime of dinner parties behind her, shows us how
to do it! She is a perfect magpie for things that make us
smile, her collections and presentations cross all boundaries: a
table strewn with rose petals, Depression glass, hand-painted bone
china, Clarice Cliff, every item with a story behind it. The best
part is, in her incomparable Whoopi way, she shows us, no matter
what our circumstances, we can do it too."
--Bette Midler
"Having been a guest at Whoopi’s dinner party multiple times, I can
say without hesitation that she accomplishes what no other host
does. Her gatherings are elegant, but personal; formal but
comfortable; structured, but relaxed. And most importantly, with
nearly every plate, cup, napkin, and table ornament, you never
forget that you are a welcomed guest in a warm nest constructed of
Whoopi’s character, humor, and personality." --Neil deGrasse
Tyson, Whoopi’s personal astrophysicist
"I am so thrilled about the arrival of this book! With her
extensive knowledge of dinnerware, glass, silver, pewter,
furniture, art, and style (just to name a few), Whoopi teaches us
how make a dinner party all our own. So call your friends and
family. It’s time to take a seat at the table."
--Stacy London, TV host, author, and stylist
"Whoopi Goldberg’s The Unqualified Hostess illustrates
the greatest gift of any African-American woman. She passes the
gifts from generation to generation, from mothers to daughters. She
delights her soul; the spirit of giving to guests visionary
and culinary wonders, centered around simple, good
eats."
--André Leon Talley, contributing editor, Vogue
"In this glorious book, Whoopi shows us how to curate a colorful,
cultural, visually delightful table setting that feeds your
appetite for joy."
--Isabel and Ruben Toledo, artists/designers
"Whoopi is one of the most extraordinarily generous, unique, and
warm people I’ve ever met. No two visits to her home are
alike, from her table decor to the food she serves, but it’s always
100% Whoopi. Her personal style is impossible to replicate,
but the spirit of it is something everyone can learn
from."
--David Rockwell, architect and designer
"It’s a great privilege to be included in such a special gathering
with such a remarkable and talented hostess."
--Hunt Slonem, artist
