India Hicks

Her fourth book, Entertaining with a Side of Chaos, is part memoir, part tablescaping guide, documenting the tables as well as her approach to hosting guests.

India Hicks, welcome to the show.

Thank you.

Welcome back, actually.

Of course, you know, we can go back to the hierarchy of the place more, who's actually sitting next to the host, who's on the right, who's on the left.

Of course, that was all led from years and years and years of ridiculous, um, hierarchical situations.

Uh, my mother obviously, um, spent time in India, uh, during independence, and she was put to work in these refugee camps, um, and clinics.

Um, and even though my grandfather was the viceroy, he felt that 17-year-old Pamela should be made to work.
