Pleasure and Aesthetics – How to Delight Your Guests. How do you make guests happy? And what influence does food have on our communication? This book not only answers these questions but also explains how we can deliberately control and utilize this influence. And this can look very different depending on the occasion: When does food best leave us speechless, and when does it prefer to interrupt awkward silence? When should it be flawless, and when is it precisely the small mistake that makes it perfect? Katerina Vetter Kapagiannidou is a communication expert and owner of the gourmet label von und zu Tisch, and she knows the strong influence our food choices have on our communication. She has been sharing this knowledge for over 10 years. She has hosted state dinners and welcomed guests such as Heiko Maas, Jens Stoltenberg, and Karl Lagerfeld.

At the center is always the art of creating suitable settings, products, and menus. Because the food on the dining table is a people magnet and one of the most exciting communication tools of our time. 40 recipes in 6 chapters for every occasion – table, food, and drinks, as well as ambiance for evenings with friends, unforgettable family celebrations, gatherings, business dinners, romantic dates, and children. In-depth expertise from the field.
