360° at the Table

360° at the Table — The Complete Guide to Dining Etiquette

At the table, relationships are built, business is settled, and confidence begins with knowing how to conduct yourself. 360° at the Table is a complete, practical guide to dining etiquette for anyone who wants to handle any meal with ease, naturalness, and assurance.

Across 26 detailed modules, it takes you through every essential rule of behaviour at the table — from the simplest gestures to the formal protocols of institutional events. Table etiquette is far more than knowing which fork to use: it is understanding the rhythm of a meal, respecting those present, and conveying good manners without stiffness.

What you'll learn:

•How to use every type of cutlery correctly, and the order of courses in a formal meal
•Posture, body language, and how to handle awkward moments
•Etiquette for business lunches and dinners
•The essentials of wine service, temperature, toasting, and basic pairing
•Conduct at banquets, official receptions, and multicultural meals

Who it's for: professionals who attend business meals, executives who represent their organisation, hosts who want to receive with elegance, young adults preparing for formal settings, parents teaching good manners, and anyone who wants to feel secure at social events.

Technical details: 26 modules · approx. 40,000 words · equivalent to 140–160 printed pages · read on any device, nothing to install.
