Konfekt: A Guide to Generous Hosting

Konfekt’s first-ever book is an ode to good hosts – and how to conjure up a truly felt welcome. From sumptuous shoots on how to lay an inviting table to a bounty of recipes for al-fresco lunches, festive suppers and beyond – via tip on how to shake a proper cocktail, “Konfekt: A Guide to Generous Hosting” is a modern manual for entertaining. There’s also musings on everything from navigating modern etiquette to the balancing act of delegation, and a compelling case for bringing back the punch bowl (and the lazy Susan, while we’re at it). We drop into the kitchens of a coterie of hosts from Vienna to Paris, Zürich to New York to see how it's done. But most of all, we get to the heart of what makes a memorable get-together, be it a dinner, a languid lunch or a pic-nic: a generosity of spirit, and the desire to create a moment of connection where everybody truly belongs.
