Cooking for parties; Parties, etiquette & entertaining

"Style icon India Hicks – daughter of the late David Hicks and goddaughter to Prince Charles – is known for her irreverent take on style, which is a mix of her traditional British past and relaxed island present. In her previous books for Rizzoli, she invited readers into her homes on Harbour Island and in England, sharing décor inspiration and family anecdotes. Now in her latest book, she presents her own slightly madcap spin on entertaining, sharing parties and tabletops organised around meals, beginning with ""Let's Start with a Drink"" to ending with ""The Great British Breakfast."" In between there are birthday celebrations featuring her children through the years, a White Christmas in the Bahamas, a picnic lunch on the Thames, among many others. Like India, these parties are full of personality, from the Panic Dinner (or what to do when you suddenly have a crowd descending); to The Great English Breakfast (as demonstrated by her mother, Lady Pamela Hicks) to The Naked Cake (cake decorating for the time-challenged). Each celebration includes cleverly beautiful yet easily implemented advice and inspiration for place settings, homemade flower arrangements, table design and more. Each chapter also includes two delicious recipes from India's chef, fondly known as Top Banana, from traditional English dishes such as Victoria Sponge and Chicken Pies to tropical treats such as The Marquess' Banana Daquiri."

Reviews for Entertaining Story, An

"""She's invited us inside her island escape in Harbour Island, Bahamas, and her estate in England. Now interior designer India Hicks reveals her secrets to entertaining in style in her new book..."" —MODERN LUXURY ""Style icon India Hicks, daughter of the late David Hicks and goddaughter to Prince Charles, is known for her irreverent take on style. And in her third book, she shares her charming take on entertaining, featuring dreamy tablescapes, found centerpieces, and enjoyable family anecdotes."" —LOVE HAPPENS ""Rarely do I sit down with a coffee-table book and end up reading the entire thing (223 pages!) front to back. But that's what happened with India Hicks: An Entertaining Story (Rizzoli, 2020). The photos, anecdotes and irreverent style of this book captured me and made me crave the togetherness of my own family."" —COLORADO HOMES LIFESTYLES"
