Description
How you hold your knife and fork, where you place your napkin, how you sit – the way we eat reveals a lot about us. But it’s not just about observing the rules. Table manners are about more than simple customs. Whether you are eating in a fancy restaurant or at home with friends and family, good table manners are a courtesy and will make dining a more pleasant experience.
This video course teaches you not only how to be an excellent host but how to be the perfect guest and covers all elements of social dining from the invitation all the way through to the thank you note.
