"Eating is not merely a material pleasure. Eating well gives a spectacular joy to life and contributes immensely to goodwill and happy companionship. It is of great importance to the morale."
So said Elsa Schiaparelli (1890—1973), fashion provocateur, inspired hostess, patron of the arts, and author of the engaging memoir Shocking Life.

One can only imagine the Surreal theme of dinner at the Met Gala honoring Schiap...perhaps a main course of Shocking Lobster ala Telefono and all topped off by Chocolate Insect bonbons!
Cannot wait too see her Magic artfulness even with simple Seed Packs for Millicent Rogers.
ahh Elsa, you were so Chic. xxpeggybraswelldesign.com

Well Said: Elsa Schiaparelli
Great post! and incredible blog ! Very helpful post! I must say. Simple & interesting. Wonderful work!
thank you!
Indeed, and not to forget a nice cup of tea.
Most refreshing- as many fashion chicsters today would have it that nary a tasty dish passes their lips. So glad you have revived your cookery posts too. pgt
