In Praise of Dinner Parties

"The most traditional form of entertaining, and to our mind the most satisfying, is the sit-down dinner party. At good dinner parties, conversation flourishes, friendships are forged or reinforced, and good food and drink can be appreciated and discussed. In no other form of entertaining does the host so unequivocally display respect for the guests and convivial concern for their welfare."
