“Going from formal to informal is a breeze for Pollak who once owned 300 place settings. I pressed for more of her secrets to outdoor entertaining with pizazz. Below are some of the helpful hints I gleaned during our talk:
Be short and sweet. Just one hour can be a lovely drop-in with cocktails and small plates.
Help your guests feel you hospitality outside; if you are hosting by a fire pit, place cozy blankets or shawls on the seats.
Fire in any form creates a sense of warmth, a phenomenon since the prehistoric times. Use it! A fire pit, fire ring, etc., in the Spring, when weather might not be so welcoming outside, will light the night.”
