"I would have been nothing without her. I would probably have become a civil servant or lawyer. It's like an inosculation, which is the word for when two trees grow against each other and fuse. You become indivisible from someone after a very long time, if you're very intensely sharing ideals and purpose, and our purpose, I think, is to try and create something that's safe."
"For Lowenna and I, trying to create temporary, physical spaces of community was always really important. When we moved to London when we were 18, we would have dinners with our friends. That was partly a financial thing; you have no money, and giving people dinner can actually be pretty cheap."
To Entertain by Jago Rackham is a unique blend of memoir and recipe book, exploring the significance of dinner parties in creating community. Inspired by an account book from his grandmother, Rackham reflects on various themes such as love, money, and hosting anxious guests. The book is a tribute to his long-term partner, Lowenna Hearn, emphasizing their shared ideals and purpose in fostering safe spaces for connection. Illustrated by Faye Wei Wei, it transcends traditional categories of party planning and etiquette.
