Aww that's such a lovely thing to say! And really my goal with this channel, to share things that mean something to me in the hopes that you will recreate the ideas so that one day they'll also mean something to you and your family :)
Beth, thank you for continuing to inspire us. I have used your ideas and recipes in my family traditions. Your Halloween sunken cake appears every Thanksgiving and Christmas (we make a spice sunken cake a Thanksgiving) and your beef bourguignon is our halloween dish ♡

Oooh, this is a holiday for eyes and ears! I can only imagine how eveybody was enjoying the dinner and the ambience you've created. Beth, you are such an incredible lady, so smart and gifted but yet humble. My full admiration!!
I couldn't believe that everyone came back to your home the next day and ate it all again! I haven't heard of that in US ( unless it's family or friends staying at your house).I have just found ur channel and am enjoying your breezy style and the kind of foods and preparations that are popular and traditional in France.I lived in Paris with some college friends many moons ago.No supermarkets then.We shopped daily and the food stores ALL closed from noon-4pm or so and then re-opened so people good get things for dinner after work.We lived in Montmarte and we had a blast.We ate simply but fresh! We had many dinner parties and consumed much wine,bread,cheese, and charcuterie!
Dear Beth, just wanted to complement you on this series, watching them is so inspiring and uplifting, also you are such a wonderful person with truly warm energy 💐 Sending you lots of love and warm wishes ☀️💐💐💐
Aww thanks Maria :) You are too kind. I'm so glad you are enjoying the series! It's been such a joy to have you all along for the ride this year! :). More French adventures on their way!
Beth, this is SO inspiring for someone who feels that every morsel needs to be made by me- it truly doesn’t, and now I can’t wait to have a reason to try your SMART approach to entertaining!
LOL! A girl after my own heart! Truly that's me too, UNTIL I get past 8-10 people, then the "Hybrid" approach kicks in ha! And France makes that SO easy! BUT so do other places in the world if you seek out artisan/homemade things found at farm stands, co-ops or Farmer's Markets. And really, no one will know the difference! Just be sure to hide the soup bottles before everyone arrives ha!
You're an inspiration, Beth! I love how encouraging you are. Some people lack confidence when it comes to large scale entertaining, but you have a knack of showing that it can be done in simple steps, and in a relaxed way. Your warmth comes right through the screen!
Aww thanks Michele :). The funny thing about entertaining is that the confidence just comes from doing it over and over again. I guess like anything in life! You just have to jump right in, knowing there will be mistakes, goofs and occasional epic fails (Oh I've had them too!) but that's when we learn the most! And where I get the best tips, from all my own the fails! :) And then it's always such fun to bring those experiences back to you all as tips :)
I just discovered your channel and OMG I’m obsessed. I am a French woman married to an American living in Los Angeles. I’m having so much fun watching you. So far every single episode is far more entertaining than Netflix!
Ahh, these summer vlog video’s are really growing on me! It’s giving me so much inspiration to plan a vacation to Southern France some day when the pandemic is over and the ending of this one was just perfect 😂
I love that you are living your best life! At the end of the video, when you said these parties were one of the things you and your husband invisioned having in this home...you did it! You made your dream come true! Keep enjoying every bit of it, Beth❤
Oh this bring back memories! My mom is French and spent all my holidays growing up in Provence and your house looks so much like my uncle house! When you were walking outside, I swear I could smell and feel the place!
Dearest Beth. You’re my inspiration in creating your dinner party all by yourself. Thank You! I’m having 12 guest for Paella, gazpacho etc and didn’t have the time to prepare dessert. It’s Sunday I& where I live the nearest good place to buy store bought dessert is miles away. You’ve inspire me to drive the distance.
Omg Beth I’m so glad you guys realized your dream. The lighting and willow were the stars of the show. What a beautiful setting. I so appreciate you sharing French culture and customs. Thank you for the great tips and recipes. You looked so tre chic in your little striped dress too! I love your house. Can’t wait for the next vid 🌹
If you don’t have any gloves for the beets, put oil on your hands before handling them. The fat makes it harder for the pigment to get stuck! And then when you wash your hands, scrub with salt and more oil. Helps loads!
My goodness! Your entertaining is both beautiful and relaxing. Love how you put all your carefully chosen plates/ serving dishes together. Thank you fir all your hard work to share with us.
Dear Beth, I have been to France many times and have always enjoyed it, but I love seeing it through your wonderful perspective. It is so refreshing and peaceful. #goals
Good morning Beth. Just woke up to your fabulous video. What a beautiful way to start the day. I loved watching all the steps to prepare this wonderful dinner. Thank you so much for sharing this. It brought me such joy! Love from 🇨🇦
Oh my stars! I discovered your channel a few months back while researching our upcoming trip to Normandy.You are such a delight to watch Beth and your enthusiasm is infectious. i’ve watched most of your videos from the last two years however only today came across your Q&A video from 2019. What a surprise to find out your dad is Joe Ruggiero! I now see that you have the same infectious personality that he does. He was always one of my favorites on HGTV back in the day. Thanks again for your wonderful channel and all of your fabulous tips and travels.
When I was in culinary school we were twinned with the college in noirmoutier! Les Sorbet. I stayed over there and worked in a hotel in Pouzages. It’s a beautiful part of France. Love your videos ❤️
@@EntertainingWithBeth Noirmoutier potatoes are delicious and popular here in Poitou Charentes. Did you know that Isle de Re also has great potatoes, quite a small commercial crop, I'm not sure if they make it across the border to The Vendee.
So inspiring! Your enthusiasm and generosity to your guests, the atmosphere you create and the beautiful home you have created, who wouldn't want to be invited to dinner at your home in France! All so beautifully set! You remind me much of my Mother in Law--a French teacher! I miss her very much!
So beautiful, I loved it all. This is what life is about family & friends creating joyous moments together. Love the light up weepy willow tree. May your home continuously blessed to create more moments like these for your family and many others!
Hi Beth! I had to come and tell you how much I’m enjoying this series of videos from France! My friend Sophie, she’s from Paris, was here last night and we talked about how we’d both love to visit Île de Ré, I was absolutely influenced by your video! Thanks for giving such joy and inspiration through your videos. I can’t wait until I’m next able to visit France, to really enjoy the culture of sharing fabulous foods with loved ones. Sending best wishes!
Good morning from California! So excited to watch your video! Just wanted to thank you and let you know that I am watching and will send an update after I watch your video.. party time!
I absolutely love episodes like this, showing how you entertain friends, quick tips and short cuts. And the "real-life" realness we are getting. Just love, love, love it. We have a big family. Our dinners are never smaller than 8 to 10 people. I can get a little stressed something trying to balance cooking times, etc. I want to spend time with my family and guests too. Thanks so much for posting. We may not have the beautiful french bakeries or butcher here, but we can use these same ideas and make them work for us.
Absolutely! The tips are universal no matter where you live! And I find too, Farmer's Markets and Health Food Stores/Co-Ops are also great sources of high-quality pre-made foods :)
I cant tell you how much I look forward to your videos every week and how much I am enjoying them. Your are truly inspiring. God bless you and your family.
Can’t tell you how much I enjoy watching your videos. They have inspired me so much into loving cooking and entertaining. You have made everything so easy and yet so satisfying! It’s almost like an addiction waiting for your next episode!
Thank you, Beth!! You have helped me plan dinners, and holiday meals, and think of things I've never thought of! I really appreciate your tips and tricks so much!!!
I always loved your videos but your videos from France are incredible. I miss living in France so much so this helps with nostalgia :) I am looking forward to them each week.
Beth, that was so much fun to see you prep everything for your dinner party. It's Saturday night here and I'm so glad I found your videos of Beth in France. You are doing exactly what I would be doing there, including the flea market and antiquing!
Love all your videos in France. My husband lived in Toulouse for a year long time ago so it has a special place in our heart. But I hope you’ve time to enjoy being there as well, between all the filming, cooking, editing, etc.
Franchement, Beth, vous recevez très bien. Avec beaucoup d'attention. C'est très élaboré, mais pas difficile. En ces temps où ce sont les JO , quand j'ai revu cette vidéo d'il y a deux ans, je vous décerne une gold médaille. Celle de mon cœur. C'est très beau, vos réceptions. Merci. Michel.
OMG Beth you are truly the hostess with the mostess. Your guests looked like they really enjoyed themselves. Thank you for bringing us a touch of French culture!
I love this video and this series so much. It’s such a joy to watch and you can really tell that you put so much love and effort into it. Thank you for bringing a touch of a French summer to us all xx
Thank you Beth. I love getting up Saturday morning and watching your beautiful videos. You amaze me. I love the menu and all your helpful hints to make entertaining ideas easier. Have a wonderful week. Hugs from Canada
All I can say is Wow! Wow! How charming! Must be the fresh salt air that gives you the energy! You are an amazing hostess!! Can’t wait to enjoy your next Event here in the USA!
Dear Beth....MON DIEU!!!!!!! I am enchanted, dazzled and speechless! Your food and presentation, not to mention your energy, are astounding! Thank you for another inspiring video of your life in France. Gorgeous food in a spectacular setting...and such a lovely girl.
Aww thanks Pamm! I'm so glad you enjoyed it! It was so much fun to put together and share with all of you! I hope it gives you some good tips to use for your own summer parties :) Happy Summer!
I guess your shopping list was at least 3 pages! You managed to build a super menu combining home made and store bought that is remarkable. But you can relay on top quality products in those shops and so many designed to make your life easier! May I also say that the video format you now have since lock down, whereby you do them all by yourself, is so more attractive. You come along very natural vs old format where you were more of a teacher. Now I can better relate, you are the family friend who comes to visit in my world and generously shares experience, tricks and skills. Enjoy your vacation and thanks for sharing.
I was hoping you would share the 16 dinner guest for dinner when you mentioned it in your last video! I have been entertaining for years, but never for 16 people! You pulled this off effortlessly! I love your videos from France and enjoy living vicariously through you!!!
Love your videos as always. You give so much fantastic commentary and ideas. Definitely going to be trying some of these, and what a wonderful host. I’m sure everyone came back for more because it sounds delicious I’m not only that you are so warm and welcoming. you truly are a wonderful person with so much zest and personality. I love the sound of the flowers, the candles and even the sparkling lights. You give such incredible descriptions and it really sets the mood and gives me so much enjoyment. Not being able to see as I’m totally blind, it really brings everything to life for me, so thank you for making your videos sparkle
Oh I'm so happy to hear that! These videos are always such a joy to share so it's always nice to know when they bring joy to others who watch them :) More French adventures on their way! :)
Wonderful ideas for a lovely dinner. You shown me how to cater for summer. You make it simple, delicious and clean. I miss France so much as we are under lockdown in Sydney. I cannot wait to visit my sister and her family, living in France, in which I see yearly. The next visit, I shall do a dinner and follow your ideas & style.
Aww how lovely! Wow that must be quite a trip! Do you fly direct? Sydney Paris? That must be a long trip! And I thought it was far from Los Angeles ha! You get the award! :) These lockdowns are so hard, but the one silver lining is they do give us the chance to dream and make future plans :). Hang in there, tough times never last, but tough people do! xx
@@EntertainingWithBethI tend to choose direct flight which means stop over in Singapore or Hong Kong to change flights. Thank you for your kind words. The lockdown will give me the opportunity to catch up on your you tube episodes as well. Looking forward to more xxx
I can watch these videos over and over again! It is so inspiring and you make everything sound so achievable. I really love your prepping instructions, I feel like I can have a party for 16 now too! 😍
Elle est trop marrante, Beth. Elle sait recevoir, c'est indéniable. Mais le coup de l'apéro à la française pour une Américaine, chapeau. Félicitations.
Beth.....I tip my hat to you. Well done. Wow...if I were to write everything, there would be no space. That was amazing. I loved everything. You did an extraordinary job. Your hubby must be beaming with pride. Lol...I will be your helper next time....wishful thinking....😅😅😅
This was so lovely! Looking forward to the next episode. You can’t just leave us hanging at “I’m a woman on a mission” towing furniture away. Must watch!
I loved this video! It makes me want to come to France (it's been awhile) :) It's amazing how different things are in the states, people rushing to eat and run. I like this slow style better.
Hi from Sri Lanka! Its so satisfying to watch this new series. I've learnt so much about entertaining from you. Thank you and keep doing what you are doing. I look forward to your videos every week. Stay safe.
Beth I am loving these videos! I've been living in France for 6 years and I love that I can go out and get all the products you're talking about. Thank you for all these fantastic entertaining tips.
Beth, I think I would have gone CRAZY!!! You are an amazement to watch and I can see how you do it...BUT IT IS CRAZY. I absolutely love your videos. You are so inspiring beyond belief!!!!!!!!
Beth, first, I want to tell you how wonderful you and all your series are. This summer, we wanted to socialize while socially distanced. I was frantically looking for ideas and stumbled upon your videos. Please believe me when I say, I copied your summer brunch idea and oh boy! I’m such a hit with all our friends. Even my husband , who knows nothing about entertaining, sat down with me and said, Beth’s idea of making iced coffee the night before is the best. So thank you ! I’m loving the French series immensely.. keep it coming!
This was just a wonderful and inspiring video. Beth you did it again; made my day happy and uplifting with your sunny personality and poise. Here you are filming a video with all the basics of your dinner party when you only have so much time to complete all before your guests arrive and yet you did all faultlessly. Thank you for sharing just a casual yet elegant evening. Can't wait for next video. Blessings!
So glad you enjoyed it! Truly, the iPhone shooting makes it so easy ha! This would never have been possible for me years ago. Can you imagine with a 5-person crew? It would have taken days to film ha! So if you can look past the production quality, it's a great way to capture these fun weeks in France! :)
I can't tell you how much you've influenced me to live a more generous and joyful life Beth! Your videos add so much value to our day. Thank you!
Aww that's such a lovely thing to say! And really my goal with this channel, to share things that mean something to me in the hopes that you will recreate the ideas so that one day they'll also mean something to you and your family :)

Best trick ever is score the potato in half- like an equator line- boil potatoes and the skins peel off one half at a time! Saved my life! 🥔
Oooh I love this tip! Thanks for sharing!!
Yes! 👍😊 this way potatos remain more Vitamins as well
@@dupadupa764 Nutritionally speaking, the skin is where most of the vitamins and minerals are.
Ditto most root veges, apples, pears, etc.
I will try that tip for sure! Thank you!

Not being able to see as I’m totally blind, it really brings everything to life for me, so thank you for making your videos sparkle
Oh I'm so happy to hear that! These videos are always such a joy to share so it's always nice to know when they bring joy to others who watch them :) More French adventures on their way! :)
Wow so many ideas!!! I can't wait to have some people over and try them out!
How beautiful, Beth! So many tips. What a wonderful spread and such simple elegance.
I love seeing it all come together so delicious & beautiful ambience! Great helpful hints for preparing food. You're the best Beth !! : )
I am absolutely loving your French series!
Wonderful ideas for a lovely dinner. You shown me how to cater for summer. You make it simple, delicious and clean. I miss France so much as we are under lockdown in Sydney. I cannot wait to visit my sister and her family, living in France, in which I see yearly. The next visit, I shall do a dinner and follow your ideas & style.
Aww how lovely! Wow that must be quite a trip! Do you fly direct? Sydney Paris? That must be a long trip! And I thought it was far from Los Angeles ha! You get the award! :) These lockdowns are so hard, but the one silver lining is they do give us the chance to dream and make future plans :). Hang in there, tough times never last, but tough people do! xx
@@EntertainingWithBethI tend to choose direct flight which means stop over in Singapore or Hong Kong to change flights. Thank you for your kind words. The lockdown will give me the opportunity to catch up on your you tube episodes as well. Looking forward to more xxx
Wonderful setting so simple Beth.❤️🇨🇦
I can watch these videos over and over again! It is so inspiring and you make everything sound so achievable. I really love your prepping instructions, I feel like I can have a party for 16 now too! 😍
Elle est trop marrante, Beth. Elle sait recevoir, c'est indéniable. Mais le coup de l'apéro à la française pour une Américaine, chapeau. Félicitations.
Beth.....I tip my hat to you. Well done. Wow...if I were to write everything, there would be no space. That was amazing. I loved everything. You did an extraordinary job. Your hubby must be beaming with pride. Lol...I will be your helper next time....wishful thinking....😅😅😅
This was so lovely! Looking forward to the next episode. You can’t just leave us hanging at “I’m a woman on a mission” towing furniture away. Must watch!
LOL! Oh it was a funny one ha! More French adventures on their way!
I loved this video! It makes me want to come to France (it's been awhile) :) It's amazing how different things are in the states, people rushing to eat and run. I like this slow style better.
Oh Beth, you are just amazing and an inspiration!
Oh how wonderful, thanks for sharing!!
This was absolutely beautiful. I’m so glad you had your dream come true with the lights in the outdoor dining. So beautiful
Me too it was such an amazing feeling to see a dream realized it was exactly how we pictured it ha ha ha! I’m so glad you enjoyed it too!
I love roasted beets! And yes, GLOVES is a MUST....been there as well when I did not wear gloves. So very delicious!
Hi from Sri Lanka! Its so satisfying to watch this new series. I've learnt so much about entertaining from you. Thank you and keep doing what you are doing. I look forward to your videos every week. Stay safe.
Beth I am loving these videos! I've been living in France for 6 years and I love that I can go out and get all the products you're talking about. Thank you for all these fantastic entertaining tips.
Ha! Perfect!! I'm so glad! I'm going to miss all these amazing products when I have to go back to the States at the end of the summer! :(
@@EntertainingWithBeth And I'm going to miss your videos in France! But at least I'll have your videos in America to console me ☺️
Beets…😂😂 you go with the flow! 😀😀
Beth, I think I would have gone CRAZY!!! You are an amazement to watch and I can see how you do it...BUT IT IS CRAZY. I absolutely love your videos. You are so inspiring beyond belief!!!!!!!!
Beth, first, I want to tell you how wonderful you and all your series are. This summer, we wanted to socialize while socially distanced. I was frantically looking for ideas and stumbled upon your videos. Please believe me when I say, I copied your summer brunch idea and oh boy! I’m such a hit with all our friends. Even my husband , who knows nothing about entertaining, sat down with me and said, Beth’s idea of making iced coffee the night before is the best. So thank you ! I’m loving the French series immensely.. keep it coming!
Wow. All looks amazing! I am a friend of your aunt Nancy who lives on Sanibel, but now I live in Fargo ND.
I laughed so much, you are so entertaining( no pun intended)! You are very inspiring.
Ha! Aww I'm glad you found it entertaining! :)
Beth you are an inspiration. I enjoy your videos and have learned so much from you. Thank you for sharing your gifts with us!
Beth, I am following you every where, digitally of course.
Just loving all this videos please keep them coming😊
So glad you are enjoying them!! Thanks for joining the adventure!
This was just a wonderful and inspiring video. Beth you did it again; made my day happy and uplifting with your sunny personality and poise. Here you are filming a video with all the basics of your dinner party when you only have so much time to complete all before your guests arrive and yet you did all faultlessly. Thank you for sharing just a casual yet elegant evening. Can't wait for next video. Blessings!
So glad you enjoyed it! Truly, the iPhone shooting makes it so easy ha! This would never have been possible for me years ago. Can you imagine with a 5-person crew? It would have taken days to film ha! So if you can look past the production quality, it's a great way to capture these fun weeks in France! :)
