The New Table - Elsa Coustals & al

How do you create a beautiful table setting today? While meals remain central to the French art of living, they are profoundly altered by evolving lifestyles and eating habits. The founding trio of La Trésorerie, a Parisian store that has become a benchmark for both restaurant professionals and discerning individuals, tell us what constitutes the New Table: food and table pairings, connections to the kitchen, freedom of placement, the importance of small containers, mismatched elements, and the proliferation of occasions and venues for dining. Presented as a culinary journey through 24 tables organized into major themes and accompanied by 60 delicious recipes , this book offers a wealth of inspiration for a table that is less formal, more surprising, and more inviting, transcending fleeting trends. To complete the experience, a guide to beauty and practicality is included to help you choose the right kitchen utensils and tableware.
