“Glorious new book in #mylifetimelibrary. A preview copy of
Stephanie Booth Shafran’s handsome first book, ‘You’re Invited
Classic Elegant Entertaining’ has just arrived and it is dazzling.
Stephanie, a fifth generation Angeleno and philanthropist, has
created the entertaining book that will be an essential reference
for recipes, flowers, decor and encouragement. Her inspired
entertaining, often to raise funds for LA and New York charities,
is glamorous, colorful, vivid. Her flowers on tables and throughout
the house and garden are lavish, seasonal, abundant. This is
classic entertaining for today, inspired by her parents’ glamorous
evenings with ‘Perfumed ladies with beehive hairdos and flowing
silk Halston dresses, with Bobby Short at the piano’, that
Stephanie recalls fondly. Illustrated are her recent chic dinners
high above Central Park, LA family holidays, Pucci by the pool,
birthday parties, a ladies’ charity luncheon, all superbly
orchestrated with monogrammed linens, tall tapered candles, simple
wine glasses, scrolled menus. Stephanie’s longtime decorator
Jeffrey Bilhuber created beautifully polished and classic settings
for Stephanie’s celebrations. Jeffrey also wrote the book
introduction. The book is inspired and generous , and full of menu
tips, cocktails, food and wine pairing, lists of resources and
ideas. Written with Kathryn O’Shea-Evans. Luscious and inspired
photography by the fabulously talented Andrew and Gemma Ingalls.
Welcome to Stephanie’s world, where every creative person is
generously acknowledged, thanked and honored. Bravo,
Stephanie.”
