How I Host
In How I Host, we discover tastemakers' secrets – from stylish table settings to favorite recipes – for hosting unforgettable, effortless gatherings

Every month in How I Host, the Homes & Gardens' team visits tastemakers – hosts, cooks and entertainers – to explore the gatherings they stage, from intimate lunches to lively dinner parties, uncovering how they craft spaces that feel effortlessly welcoming, convivial and creative.
Along the way, we take a close look at their approach to table settings, centerpiece styling, and the small details that make each event feel personal, from handpicked linens to clever serving ideas.
We also discover the recipes that bring their gatherings to life, from signature starters to indulgent desserts, sharing hosting tips and tricks that make entertaining at home inspiring, achievable – and memorable.
