"The atmosphere crackled with excitement as JFK and his
beautiful lady presided over the receiving line. Jack and
Jackie actually shimmered....They were truly the golden
couple...." --William Styron
The Kennedy
White House years are becoming ever-more recognized as a
legendary time. This book re-creates the most memorable
evenings of that storied era--from the outdoor dinner at
Mount Vernon to the Pablo Casals gala--with guest lists,
menus, recipes, china, table settings, anecdotes from those
who attended, and more. Edited by Letitia Baldrige,
Jacqueline Kennedy's Social Secretary during the White House
years, In the Kennedy Style is an uniquely personal
and intimate tribute.
The pages of this
elegant gift book are strikingly designed to combine text,
quotes, photographs, anecdotes, guest lists, recipes and
menus in a highly evocative way. Featured are six of the
most remarkable social occasions from the Kennedy era: the
outdoor dinner at Mount Vernon, the Pablo Casals gala, the
André Malraux dinner, the Nobel Prize winners evening,
dinner for the Grand Duchess and Prince of Luxembourg, and
dinner for the Shah of Iran. In addition to photographs,
recollections, and memorabilia are menus with recipes,
allowing readers to re-create some of the atmosphere of
those unforgettable evenings.
