Elevated Menu

When Los Angeles-based designer Timothy Corrigan bought his French château in 2004, he knew two things from the get-go: First, a complete restoration was in order. Second, the home would be a gathering spot for a wide variety of celebrations with friends and family, not a museum setting that lacked personality. In his new book, An Invitation to Château du Grand-Lucé, Timothy captures an array of dining situations, from casual outdoor luncheons and Christmas cocktails to notable formal dinners in the dining room.

"There is something extra-special about a formal dinner because there is an elevated level of attention, not only from the host but from the guests as well," says Timothy. "Conversations are at their best, and guests make the effort to dress elegantly."

Backed by stately original 18th-century paneling, a Louis XVI sideboard, and a gilded English mirror, Timothy's dining table shines, subtly establishing a regal ambiance. Atop white linen placemats embroidered with pomegranates, the designer placed selections from his inventory of luxurious tableware, including green Limoges dinner plates with gold embellishments, lion's-head soup bowls, and cut-crystal stemware. Votive candles—randomly placed throughout the centerpiece of greenery, oranges, pomegranates, and silver Jordan almonds—provide elegant light.

"When people travel to France, they visit châteaux with a 'Don’t Touch' policy," says Timothy. "I want my guests to experience my entire property and really live there."

Ultimate Organizer

In England, seating charts are popularly used by hosts to assist with the placement of guests around a table. Timothy prepares for dinner parties in the same manner, assigning his guests to specific spots on a walnut chart, the gift of a grateful visiting diner.

Greenery, pomegranates, oranges, artichokes, and silver almonds fashion a centerpiece that nods to the abundance that guests have in their lives. "Being grateful shouldn't be reserved only for Thanksgiving time," Timothy says.

Wine Notes

A Bordeaux blend, typically a combination of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot grapes, is characterized by dark fruit and berry flavors and a firm structure. This complex wine makes an admirable companion to rich braised short ribs.

Fleur-de-Lis Cookies

Credit: Eric Plasecki and Peter Krumhardt

Packaged in gold boxes and ribbon trim to coordinate with dinner plates, fleur-de-lis-shaped sugar cookies make lovely gifts for guests. 

  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • Pinch salt
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • Coarse white decorating sugar
  • Purchased vanilla frosting

Preheat oven to 375°F. In large mixing bowl beat butter on medium to high speed 30 seconds. Add granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Beat until combined, scraping sides of bowl occasionally. Beat in egg and vanilla until combined. Beat in as much of the flour as you can with mixer. Stir in any remaining flour. Divide dough into 3/4 and 1/4 portions.

On lightly floured surface, roll 3/4 of the dough to 1/8-inch thickness. Use 4-inch Fleur-de-Lis cookie cutter to cut into shapes. Roll remaining 1/4 portion dough to 1/8-inch thickness. Use 1-1/2 inch Fleur-de-Lis cookie cutter to cut into shapes. Place 1 inch apart on ungreased cookie sheets. Sprinkle cookies with decorating sugar.

Bake 6 to 8 minutes or until edges are firm and lightly browned. Transfer cookies to wire racks and let cool. When cookies have cooled, attach smaller cookie to larger with dab of frosting. Package as gift, if desired. Makes about 21 gift cookies (you will have about 24 additional smaller cookies).

Note:  
To store, layer cookies between sheets of waxed paper in airtight container. Store at room temperature up to 3 days or freeze up to 1 month.
