Few cities entertain with the gusto of Houston, and at the heart of some of the most lavish parties and delightful small dinners is The Stone Kitchen.

When it comes to entertaining on any scale, Elizabeth knows what works and what doesn't, and she understands that every host or hostess has a different comfort zone in the kitchen.

Now, in this indispensible volume, she shares the hospitality wisdom of generations, and every reader will be able to throw A-list parties with pleasure.
