Food tastes better when it is beautifully presented. A decorative table heightens the sense of occasion when you are entertaining friends, making a simple meal into a celebration. And even a quick breakfast or an informal brunch is so much more satisfying if it is served up with thought and care.
'Table Settings' features 20 themed occasions, ranging from festive meals such as Christmas dinner or Easter lunch to simpler events such as supper for two or a lazy weekend breakfast. You don't need family-heirloom china or silver cutlery to recreate these appealing settings - fresh flowers, twinkling tea lights and quirky decorative touches are all that's needed. For useful reference, there is also a visual directory of international place settings.
