My dazzling dinner
I love hosting dinners at my place. It’s much more fun than meeting at a restaurant Adeline, 36 years old, Head of Communications, likes it when guests serve themselves again.

Breakfast means it’s time to huddle with family and select a menu. At noon, I hit the market to stock up on the best seasonal produce. At 6 p.m., we get cooking. I delegate the boring tasks (chopping vegetables and the like) to my husband, Eric, while I keep an eye on the stove. The kids are in charge of appetizers. By 8 p.m., dinner is on the table.
It might seem somewhat old-fashioned, but I just love a beautiful table setting. I use simple white plates, wine-tasting glasses and colored water glasses to punch things up a bit. The napkins are where I really go nuts: they are all different prints, very eye-catching.

Seen from afar, my cakes appear to be nothing out of the ordinary. But they each have something special. What are my specialties? One is chocolate fondant dessert–but it’s gluten-free, dairy-free and made with zucchini! I serve it family style and slice it at the table. It brings back childhood memories.
