In addition, six “idea spreads” offer smart suggestions for setting the table, creating a centerpiece, assembling a buffet, brewing great coffee, preparing the perfect pot of tea, and setting up a cocktail bar. Lavishly photographed, Brunch contains all you need to know to create the perfect daytime party for any occasion.
