Produktbeschreibung

A Table in Newport: Dining with the Titans and Royals of the Gilded Coast.

This book A Table in Newport, provides an in-depth examination of the intricate social history of Newport, tracing its progression from a colonial trading center to a symbol of luxury and cultural importance. The narrative begins by highlighting the 18th-century wealth amassed by merchants involved in the Triangular Trade, featuring their elegant yet understated residences, such as Hunter House, and presenting traditional recipes that capture both local cuisine and imported delicacies. As the tale unfolds, it details Newport's evolution into a summer retreat for Southern elites prior to the Gilded Age, an era during which notable figures like President John F. Kennedy resided there, merging political power with agrarian wealth through culinary highlights such as Lobster Newburg and Mint Juleps. The core of the book is anchored in the Gilded Age, characterized by opulent "cottages" constructed by families like the Vanderbilts. These magnificent homes served as venues for extravagant dinner parties-a battleground for social rivalry-featuring luxurious dishes such as Oysters Rockefeller and Champagne Cocktails. The narrative progresses to Newport's pursuit of European acknowledgment during royal visits, where American affluence sought validation through grand festivities honoring dignitaries like the Duke of Windsor. This section emphasizes the blend of Old World nobility with New World ambition through sophisticated culinary experiences. As it shifts into the Jazz Age, a new generation infused a sense of levity into social events, departing from strict formalities in favor of more exuberant gatherings marked by inventive cocktails and striking dishes. Finally, the book explores contemporary times, detailing how these historic homes have been preserved as public assets and now function as cultural landmarks while continuing to host significant events that celebrate Newport's lasting legacy.
