The legendary actor and comedian shows how to set a great table,
shares ideas for unforgettable celebrations, and says, It's about fun,
not perfection! In her own words...
It's Whoopi here and I've written this book that, frankly, is the last
book anyone would expect. You would never think of me as someone with
the courage to say, 'You have everything you need to be fantastic in
your own house, apartment, or trailer to set a great table.'
Let's face it, you look at a lot of books on Entertaining and think 'I
could never do this in my house, I don't have this stuff and it's not
going to look like what I'm seeing.' That's not what's going to happen
here! I want to show you there is great heart in setting the table. For
two or four or the kids or Halloween or tea just for you. For dinners
with friends or the holidays. I'm going to tell you stories about what I
do when people come over and give you ideas about what you're seeing
because Honey, everything in this book is what you can do in your house.
You got a bodega or a 7-Eleven near you? They sell flowers. Take those
bad boys and put them on your table. You got some crazy old plate from
your grandmother (or a fancy silver one)? You got little kids' toys that
have been annoying you forever, put them on the table too. Who's going
to tell you it's wrong? Not me! I'm going to tell you it's right and I'm
going to take you on a journey. And don't forget the bathroom; decorate
it too, people are going to see it. It's all at your house. Come with
me. I'll show you!
P.S. I know the glass on the cover is broken. Accidents happen!
