I had such a wonderful time at the intimate luncheon hosted by my dear friend Mrs. Riggo for my book launch of Celebrations at the always luxurious St. Regis. It was the first of many parties (I’ll be hosting a big blow-out event in January).  Many of the guests of the luncheon included people who were featured in Celebrations, so it was a great opportunity to catch up with old friends and reminisce about their events.

The menu was amazing and I had my first bite of an autumn risotto with butternut squash. There were a couple of beautiful toasts and we wrapped up with a sparkling rose and petit fours. Can’t wait for the book launch gala in January….stay tuned.
