访谈录 2013-01-14&01-16 家庭主妇教你开聚会

 　　She is the real housewife of Beverly Hills. Famous for her dinner party and now Lisa Vanderpump is revealing her entertaining secrets and a new book, it’s called “Simply Divine”, a guide to easy elegant the affordable¹ entertaining and she’s with us, here’s in the studio, welcome.

　　Thank you.

　　And Giggy is in the house everybody.

　　Yes Giggy        wake up.

　　That’s one of the point..you know..he’s on a ..timeYeah he’s sleepyEr, you have created a gorgeous bread, and this is an example of the things you do in your book.

　　Yes.

　　How do you do sth so elegant and also enjoy the party?

　　Well, you know what I really wrote this book to kind of take the stress out of entertaining, because I feel so many people intimidate², but you don’t have to cook when your guests are there, so what about preparation, so that’s what this book really about. Not doing stuff when people are there, but doing it beforehand.

　　And this does not look like a bargain dinner party.

　　This is so simple, its’ simple but it’s divine. Yeah I mean we have the shepherd’s pie there, which is sth you should make beforehand which I tell you men will absolutely love, that long..he will just…What is ..love with you…This shepherd pie, I actually make it with beef, and it’s got potato and corn and carrots, I feel it’s like a complete mere³ in one.

　　It’s comfort food.

　　YesIt’s close for L.

　　Yes you would love it right?

　　Right.

　　And then er we have a soup here which I opt⁴ to make soup cause again you can make it beforehand. But what I do here is you can design your own soup, so you pass the tray round you can add cram⁵ fresh…..or chili⁶ fla..so really jut⁷ makes it up and people really like that.

　　And that’s all about making it personal.

　　Yeah absolutely,And you know how to do it not only in your home but also at your incredible restaurant.

　　YesWhich is a, this is a start, so this is beginning your new show.

　　Yes the new show Vanderpump which at tonight we are very excited about that, but you have things like the Vou tips and the petals⁸ and it really makes everything sexy. But the show tonight Vanderpump would have to choose housewives which is not about chopping onions, it isn’t really about the food as much as the dynamics⁹ between the staffs and hot m..

　　The hot ma..no relation to the food. Er some rules more or less drama than housewives?

　　Well different kind of racy faster…a little edgier¹⁰ but it does kick-off,Is it..real hosewives?

　　Yea it is I have to say, you just hit the point, but a lot of fun, I do have drained in the middle and the mat…are there..
