Caren Rideau does it all in her own inimitable style. When she’s not designing bright, functional kitchens for clients or taste-testing wine at the vineyard she runs with her partner, Andrés Ibarra, Rideau is busy traveling, cooking family recipes, and hosting warm gatherings in her California home. Inspired by her upbringing, Rideau’s work brings together the vibrant hues and styles of her native Southwest with a love for celebration fostered by her Mexican and Louisiana Creole roots. In Caren Rideau: Kitchen Designer, Vintner, Entertaining at Home, the designer shares the process and inspiration behind her creative interiors, from colorful kitchens to storage smart dining areas and beyond. She also offers some of her go-to recipes and wine pairings for easy entertaining (think: summery ceviche with Albariño; butternut squash soup with Grenache; or steak tacos with Syrah).
The first book on and by this multitalented designer, Caren Rideau: Kitchen Designer, Vintner, Entertaining at Home is a must-have for anyone looking to revitalize their home and welcome friends and family in style.
