American Elegance

Think Jackie-O with her polished sophistication and easy manner. With this food style, your table would be set with a crisp white linen, most likely a family heirloom, with understated but elegant roses pulled from the garden and a perfectly chilled Cabernet waiting on the sideboard. Refined American classics like a succulent roast and farmer's market potatoes are cooling on the counter — elegance and refinement without a trace of stuffy formality.
The Year in Food shares your love of food style of warm but sophisticated elegance.

Glamorista

Like a modern reincarnation of “Sex and the Single Girl,” you are drawn to bold colors, bright lights and wild parties. As such, unique cocktails and luxurious appetizers are essential to your City Girl food style — all of which must be as fashionable and on-trend as the latest fashion mags predict.

Exotic Globetrotter

Love to decorate with the culling of your exotic adventures in East Asia? Consider your food style to be that of the alluring globetrotter. With unique ingredients from far-flung places and strange but delicious combinations, they prefer food as foreign and authentic as possible. Dine on homemade kimchi that you’ve spent weeks fermenting or pineapple vinegar using a recipe from the Mexican grandmother you met at the end of a mountain hike — food with a fantastic story is your food style.

Carefree Eclectic

Mismatched but cozy describes your personal style, and you're drawn to comfort foods like crusty bread and thick bowls of stew. A bevy of mismatched pillows and chairs surround your table while half-melted candlesticks decorate the top. Overall, you treasure a relaxed atmosphere that values comfort over perfection.
