Big thanks for Sugar and Spice! To the many friends, business associates and partners who have supported my efforts. I also thank my husband for always “being game” to entertain and “test” out the framework found within A Table In Time: Host a Gathering that Feeds the Mind, Body and Soul. His willingness to support me has translated into many parties, late evenings and memorable times.
Thank you also for the many guests, who attended and paid for my “beta” suppers, and provided feedback and referrals afterwards. We had fun!
