Book tip of the week: What makes guests happy - The handbook

Everything perfect: table, ambience, drinks and recipes

With her stylish handbook “What makes guests happy”, Katerina Vetter Kapagiannidou opens up a fascinating perspective on how food, ambience and communication work together to create unforgettable experiences. This book is much more than a classic cookbook – it is a source of inspiration for hosts who want to delight their guests not only with food, but also with thoughtful details and a unique atmosphere.

The 40 recipes, divided into six chapters and tailored to different occasions – from relaxed evenings with friends to elegant business dinners and romantic dates – combine indulgence with aesthetics. It’s not just about the right choice of food and drink, but also about the art of creating an atmospheric table setting that stimulates or deliberately directs communication.

The author’s in-depth specialist knowledge is particularly enriching, as she is an impressive communications expert and experienced hostess. Her anecdotes from her work – such as hosting state dinners or encounters with personalities like Karl Lagerfeld – give the book a personal and practical touch. The numerous tips on topics such as the right choice of wine, perfection in small mistakes and setting up an inviting kitchen make it an indispensable reference book.
