Our homes have a pulse; like us, they have a past, present, and future. They reflect who we are, and they are the center of our lives. For that reason, entertaining is more than just throwing a great party or setting a pretty table. There is a vulnerability inherent in opening our home and inviting people in to see how we live--and that vulnerability, says home entertainer extraordinaire Joseph Marini, is something to embrace wholeheartedly. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this beautiful, accessible guide, Joseph shares his secrets for being a thoughtful and authentic host when entertaining at home, along with distinctive recipes, tasteful advice on etiquette appropriate for today's lifestyles, and a multitude of ways to make your next gathering unforgettable. Entertaining, he says, is a learned skill that with a little bit of regular practice becomes second nature. Becoming a proficient host means that you are taking the time to nurture people--bringing them together in a space that is comfortable and welcoming while creating memories over food and drinks. Even someone who hates to cook can become a talented host by taking the time to give their presentation a special touch (by serving those store-bought foods on earthenware platters with beautiful garnishes, for example) and learning how to care well for their guests. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIncluding close to 100 recipes that Joseph has used both throughout his career as a caterer and for his own personal use at home--each one accompanied by a gorgeous, full-page lifestyle photo and a recommendation on how to serve the dish with style--\u003ci\u003eMastering the Art of Entertaining\u003c\/i\u003e is the empowering, inspiring coach you need to become the host you've always wanted to be.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Joseph Marini\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1684631963\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781684631964\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Sparkpress\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/09\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 312\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 4.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.10h x 9.06w x 1.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2023 pg. 50","brand":"Joseph Marini","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44079884271871,"sku":"9781684631964","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0cb61851-58d5-484c-a3d4-92352344c951.jpg?v=1685483707","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/mastering-the-art-of-entertaining-joseph-marini-9781684631964","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
