Héloïse Brion's innate flair for entertaining combines her Franco-American roots in charming recipes and table settings that foster a warm and convivial atmosphere.

In her second book, Héloïse Brion expands her repertoire of delicious yet decidedly unpretentious comfort food in a richly illustrated lifestyle book that highlights her myriad ideas for creating unique table settings for all occasions--from a summer­time beach getaway to a festive holiday gathering. Her charming tabletop repertoire includes vintage transferware plates and handmade ceramics, natural wood platters and serving bowls, heirloom silver and etched glassware, jewel-hued linen napkins and tablecloths, as well as foraged elements from nature and chic candles.

Packed with winning flavor combinations that dazzle while keeping preparations relaxed in the kitchen, this book is organized by season and includes forty recipes and tables­cape ideas to ensure that every meal is joyous and memorable.
