«El arte de la buena mesa» is Isabel Maestre's manual of protocol and etiquette, published by Editorial Everest in paperback (220 pages, in Spanish).
A reference work on table manners: how to behave elegantly at formal meals and receive guests at home. Includes a prologue by Rafael Ansón, interviews with figures from social life, and photographs of decorated tables. The author argues that service, tableware, and the aesthetics of the setting matter as much as the food.
Second edition, published in 2006. Isabel Maestre won the National Gastronomy Award for Best Chef; the book received the Prix Littéraire de l'Académie Internationale de la Gastronomie.
For those who wish to improve as hosts and for readers interested in protocol, table etiquette, and the art of receiving guests.
