Thankfully, Barney’s new lookbook, Table Mates, pairs beautiful table settings with baubles, jewels and gems – everyone knows bit of bling is just the thing that makes a party memorable!  The best part is that there’s something for everyone in these pages, from a stylish black and white look (very Rachel Zoe) to a modern rustic mix perfect for a chic country home.

Inspired by this table setting and Julia Child, we thought it would be fun to add one of our favorite mushroom recipes, Champignons Sautes au Beurre, from Mastering the Art of French Cooking.  Perfect on grilled chicken and steak, or as a vegetable side, sauteed mushrooms are perfect year-round…
