Rita's Culinary Trickery: How to Get Dinner on the Table Even If You Can't Cook

What is culinary trickery? It's about bringing a great group of people together as much as it is about what you serve. It's about creating an easy, relaxed setting and the way you welcome your guests as much as it's about getting delicious — but not fussy — food on the table. In short, it's about big-picture entertaining in which there's always room for a few tricks that make you look like a master chef, even if you never went near the oven. So let London's favorite young style expert show you how to:

Choose simple, easy menus for everything from lunch with a girlfriend to entertaining in-laws to no-fail dinners

Extend irresistible invitations

Serve seasonal fruit, a cheese course, and even a store-bought prepared main course (yes, it's okay!) on beautiful platters

Set the tone for a festive dinner party with a proper cocktail

Win over the smallest, fussiest guests — kids!

Whether you're planning a simple breakfast for two or a feast for a crowd, let Rita Konig show you how to sit back, take a deep breath, and enjoy your own party.
