The Kennedy White House years are becoming ever more recognized as a legendary time. This book re-creates the most memorable evenings of that storied era -- from the outdoor dinner at Mount Vernon to the Pablo Casals gala -- with guest lists, menus, recipes, china, table settings, anecdotes from those who attended, and more. Edited by Letitia Baldrige, social secretary to the White House for Mrs. Kennedy, "In The Kennedy Style" is a uniquely personal and intimate tribute to the Camelot era.

The pages of this elegant gift book are strikingly designed to combine text, quotes, photographs, recipes, and menus in a highly evocative way. Featured are six of the most remarkable social occasions from the Kennedy Administration (the outdoor dinner at Mount Vernon, the Pablo CasaIs gala, the Andre Malraux dinner, the Nobel Prize Winners' evening, dinner for the Grand Duchess and Prince of Luxembourg, and dinner for the Shah of Iran). As well as photographs, recollections, and memorabilia, there are original menus with authentic recipes by Chef Rene Verdon, allowing readers to re-create some of the atmosphere of those special evenings.
