Nan Kempner had one of the most enviable address books of the late 20th Century. She not only knew everyone, she knew how well they entertained. She put that knowledge to use for this book, traveling the world, chronicling the recipes and entertaining styles of friends such as Marie-Chantal of Greece, Betsy Bloomingdale, Oscar and Annette de la Renta, Lynn Wyatt, Valentino, et al. Filled with photographs, this book places the reader in Kemper’s Yves Saint Laurent shoes (and size zero dress), shedding light on what it would have been like to be at the glimmering summit of international society, circa 1999.
