Veronica's Kitchen Day 20: Setting The Table

 
 
Back, before I was even born, during the glorious era of 1960's Beirut, it was said that hers were some of the most elegantly arranged tables in town. That artistic eye for details is something her daughter, Madeleine, as well as her granddaughter, Mariette, would later inherit. An elegantly set table was meant to invite the guest and make him feel warm and welcome. How one enjoyed the feast was as important as the feast they enjoyed.
