The Art of Tables and Manners









The Art of the Table

The following are excerpts from The Art of the Table by Suzanne von Drachenfels:

How to Lay Dinnerware

Salt Cellars and Salt Shakers

Balancing Simple and Ornate Decoration

How to Hold and Pour a Bottle of Wine

 

Ponder well on this point: the pleasant hours of our life are all connected, by a more or less intangible link, with some memory of the table.

Monselet, Eigthteenth-Century Gastronome
