As sweet as a love note, as welcome as a holiday, as easy as pie. Take simple squares of cloth, succinctly written directions, and clearly photographed steps and create fantastic napkin folds that transform your table into a showpiece. Mixing whimsy and elegance, celebrity event designer David Stark fashions stylish setups for every occasion. In Napkins with a Twist, Stark turns his unerring eye to the art of the perfect table setting, focusing on the quick, inexpensive, and creative. From everyday to evening, children's parties to black-tie affairs, a clever napkin fold turns any gathering into a memorable event.

Folds from Buckingham Palace and the Kennedy White House, New York's Pierre and Napa Valley's French Laundry, reveal how royalty, the rich and famous, the world's legendary restaurants, all put just the right touches on their signature starched linens. Along with its array of napkin folds, Napkins with a Twist spills over with useful tips, how-to lists, etiquette reminders, table settings, and surprising suggestions for how a napkin fold can become the starting point for designing an entire occasion.

Classic, elegant, and even whimsical folded napkins can be so striking that you don't need a centerpiece! Some, like the Swan, are purely decorative. Others, arranged in basket or box shapes, hold food or small gifts nestled among the folds. Still more are practical: the Silverware Cover is suited for dining al fresco, because the weighted napkin won't blow away. Coordinate meals with napkin designs: for example, a Geisha Fan could accompany Japanese cuisine. Arrange lotus blossoms, water lilies, even a special "Bridal Train" for a wedding banquet!
