My mother had her parties planned so that at least 15 minutes before the first guest arrived, she could sit down in her fancy outfit and make up and have a drink and a cigarette. That was important, to have a few minutes to destress and calmly plan what would be happening. My parents "soirees" were very much enjoyed by all their friends.

I love that you use Harrod’s green as your background color. This is not a question but rather a statement on the current state of our society. I have always loved to entertain via dinner parties with beautifully set and prepared tables. Years ago, guests were not intimidated by beautiful tables but rather complimented by the fact that such lengths were taken to please. Today, I find myself entertaining far less. When I do a dinner party for a special occasion, and I set a beautiful table, guests feel intimidated/ uncomfortable as though it’s strange to even eat at a dining room table. I still believe it’s better to elevate others to a standard vs stooping to norms. It’s unfortunate that society has changed so. I applaud you for your good taste and sense of style. Bravo Nicolas. Love your videos.

I'm so pleased to have discovered your channel. My husband and I love to have friends for dinner and subscribe exactly to your philosophy of entertaining. Elegant but simple, making guests feel warm and welcome without being overly fussy -- just fussy enough. Your home is so lovely and timeless and reminds us of ours in San Diego. While all our friends decorate modern, modern, modern, their homes look interchangeable and nearly identical. Beautiful books, bowls, flowers, vases, clocks, and art, not necessarily expensive but always in good taste, make a home feel inviting and cozy. It's so nice to see younger people appreciate this style of living for so many reasons. Your videos are also enjoyably calm, almost ASMR, such a nice counterpart to our joyfully Jewish neuroticism. I'll occasionally listen to them with my eyes closed to lull myself into relaxation. Looking forward to watching the rest of the videos soon. Be well.

Lastly Nicholas - for your Q and A - What wines do you tend to serve at dinner and do you do a desert wine and offer coffee at end?

Nicolas your videos are always so educational and inspirational! I can't help but always wonder how they made curved doors to fit the curve in the wall that your dining table is in front of. Super cool architectural feature!

I totally agree - real craftsmanship! I think they used steam to bend the wood

Once I have a place of my own again, rather than hiding in my room, away from my current house full of classless, thieving housemates, I will merrily be back to making efforts again. Until then... ***stares guiltily at his Chinese takeaway*** Thank you for reminding me what I'm missing, inspiring me to make my life mine again... and filling my host book with recipes and ideas.
