Reviews"Even if, like me, you don't know how to cook, you're going to have a wonderful time reading Nan Kempner's highly enjoyable R.S.V.P. Mrs. Kempner takes us into the houses of some very swell people, most of whom you've read about in the papers. She gives you a little dish about the hostesses and occasional hosts, tells you what they eat, and how their cooks cooked it and their staff served it. The photographs are a treat, truly a bit of social history." -- Dominick Dunne "A glamorous, amusing, and informative look at how some of the most notable hosts and hostesses in the world deliciously water and feed their discerning guests. Nan Kempner is the perfect one to write such a book because she is a hostess who is just as famous as they are for her groaning boards and her unique knowledge of the art of entertaining." -- Aileen Mehle, "Even if, like me, you don't know how to cook, you're going to have a wonderful time reading Nan Kempner's highly enjoyableR.S.V.P.Mrs. Kempner takes us into the houses of some very swell people, most of whom you've read about in the papers.
