In her second book, My Art of Entertaining, Héloïse Brion expands her repertoire of delicious yet unpretentious comfort food in a lifestyle book that highlights her myriad ideas for creating memorable meals right down to the unique table settings. From a summertime beach getaway to a festive holiday gathering, she suggests using vintage transferware plates or handmade ceramics, natural wood platters and serving bowls, heirloom silver and etched glassware, jewel-hued table linens, foraged elements from nature, and chic candle placements.

Packed with winning flavour combinations that dazzle while keeping it relaxed, the book is organised by season and includes tablescape ideas for every occasion. Recipes include a crisp Radish Salad that heralds the arrival of springtime; refreshing Semifreddo Peaches perfect for hot summer days; a warming autumnal Burrata, Fig, and Grape pizza; as well as Stuffed Butternut Squash and a Holiday Mushroom Crown for festive winter celebrations.
