"To host a successful and memorable dinner party, be as gracious as you know how, present the best you have to offer, and remember that, as host, you set the tone for the evening in your every manner and approach." -- Daniel Cappello 'Dinner Diaries' follows in the spirit of Assouline's popular 'Proust Questionnaire', 'Fashion Questionnaire', and 'Wine Questionnaire', using the format of Proust's handy interview helper, here reworked by Daniel Cappello, to ask everything about dinner parties, from preferred seating arrangements to the best conversation topics. Featuring handwritten answers from experienced hosts such as Ivanka Trump, chef Alex Hitz, and Giancarlo Giammetti, blank questionnaires and seating charts are in the back to share with friends. Dinner Diaries is illustrated with ephemera from these hosts?seating charts, menus, guest lists, place cards - as well as archival pieces from the most glamorous dinner parties of yesteryear. The dinner party has evolved in the last few years, and here's a way to keep up with the times! Daniel Cappello is currently the fashion director of Quest Media, which publishes the cultural magazine Quest and the fashion magazine Q. He has worked on the editorial staffs of The New Yorker, George, and Harvard Current, and has written for Playbill, Absolute New York, W, Ralph Lauren's RL Magazine, and NewYorker.com. Cappello previously served President Bill Clinton as director of specialty press, and earned his BA in government from Harvard University. Cappello is the author of The Ivy League (Assouline, 2012). 25 illustrations
