FOR THE KITCHEN
Stylist and designer Rachel Zoe took a break from hosting guests to give Star the 411 on entertaining — and cleaning up!
If you were to host your fantasy dinner party, who would be your guests?
Oprah or Michelle Obama. And for Rodger, Jerry Garcia.
What are your tips for hosting at home?
Be present when you have guests! You don’t want to be running around when they arrive. Have as much prepared as possible and save cleanup until after they leave!
How do you split up chores at home?
Rodger and I both load the dishwasher. The LG QuadWash marries form and function: It has four spray arms instead of two and saves a lot of time. He then takes out the garbage, but I always make breakfast for our sons.
What’s your must-have hostess gift?
I love to gift something for the home — a throw blanket or a coffee-table book.
