ENTERTAINING STORY

India Hicks is known for her irreverent take on style. Here she presents her own slightly madcap spin on entertaining. Organized by meal, the book begins marvellously with the most important meal of the day - cocktail hour - and ends with breakfast. In between, there are family suppers and big dinners, birthday cakes and Christmas crackers, great British breakfasts, quick teas and long lunches, mustard pots as vases, and bedcovers for tablecloths.
