All in Good Taste
by Kate Spade New York
“For many women, ‘Kate Spade’ didn’t mean a handbag or even a New York designer - rather, it represented something bigger: a milestone purchase, an achievement, a first investment in one’s self.” — Glamour
🥂 ENTERTAINING | EVENT PLANNING | LIFESTYLE & DESIGN
A New York Times Bestseller providing a charming, unpretentious guide to modern hosting, filled with easy, festive, and authentic ideas.
Extended Synopsis
Throwing rigid rules out the door, All in Good Taste by Kate Spade New York is the ultimate manual for the modern-day hostess. This beautifully designed volume shares ideas that are deliberately polished yet refreshingly authentic. Whether you are throwing an intimate dinner or a lavish gathering, this book provides the joy, advice, and good taste necessary to transform you into the host everyone wants an invitation from.
The guide covers both essential lost arts—such as how to shuck an oyster, curate a vibrant guest list, and guide a dinner-table discussion—alongside modern conundrums like navigating Instagram etiquette at the dinner table. Filled with personal essays, anecdotes, recipes, table-setting tutorials, and a liberal dash of style, it is a modern classic you will treasure for years and want to gift to every host you know. (Note: The wine stain on the cover is an intentional design element, reflecting the book's spirited approach to entertaining.)
