About the Mid Century Modern Romantic

Romanticize Your Life

Welcome to The Mid Century Modern Romantic

Romantic entertaining is a belief that lighting a candle on a Tuesday evening dinner is just as important as celebrating life’s many milestones around the table. It’s about everyday elegance and attention to the details that make your guests and loved ones feel seen.

The Mid Century Modern Romantic Philosophy

modern elegance

Candles, red roses, and chocolates are beautiful, but have their moment on Valentine’s Day. My romantic hosting philosophy revolves around the idea of the intimate table and creating evenings that celebrate the people you love with attention to the details that make a difference.

Curated Menus

I design menus with the cook in mind. Part of being an elegant host is enjoying hosting. I find ways to get you impressing your guests without spending the whole day in the kitchen. For many of my menus, I’m updating traditional standards of romance, flipping them on their head, and coming up with something entirely new and fresh.

Menus for two

I have tons of ideas to keep date night fun and fresh. My menus find the elegance in the everyday so you can kick back and enjoy the evening at home.

Seasonal ingredients

Everyday elegance is noticing the many beautiful things right in front of you and highlighting them–that’s why my recipes and menus highlight seasonal moods and flavors to celebrate the moment

flexible hosting

Part of the joy of The Mid Century Modern Romantic is taking my inspiration and making it your own. I invite you to mix and match my menus or use my seasonal pairings as a guide to adding and building on any of my curated menus.

Beauty and elegance does not have to translate to labor intensive hours in the kitchen. My menus and recipes are designed for the home cook who would like to pull off a simple but impressive evening.
