A regular in British society pages this Design It Girl (The New York Times) has had her simple yet glamorous interiors featured across the globe, from House Beautiful and Vogue in the U.S. to The Sunday Times and Vogue in England. Praised by The Evening Standard for teaching a generation of women the little things that mothers once naturally passed on to their daughters and for putting domesticity on a pedestal, Konig imparts the small acts that can make every occasion a tribute to friends, food, and eating.

Fun, hip, and always practical, Rita's Culinary Trickery is the perfect guide for the novice nester. Stylish entertaining does not require loafs of cash or even loads of time. It should instead be guided by this appealing mantra: There is never any real need to get in a panic over a dinner party--your home should simply be about having a good time, either on your own or surrounded by your friends. Rita then shares her tricks for creating the perfect guest list, setting a table, shopping for dishes, personalizing prepared foods, and whipping up stunningly simple recipes that keep a hostess's nerves calm so she can attend to her guests--and her own enjoyment.

Stylishly designed with retro artwork, this edgy guide covers breakfasts, suppers, dinner parties, celebrations, eating outdoors, and even dressing up a coffee tray. Rita's Culinary Trickery is sure to inspire every modern girl to sit back, take a deep breath, and enjoy her won party.
