Jacqueline Kennedy was known for her gracious hosting, that was part of her impetus to redecorate the White House and make it more comfortable for anyone who visited. She was also the queen of glamour at events of international importance, donning strapless gowns while rubbing elbows with dignitaries and leaders from across the globe. As chic as she was she also had a very homey side and enjoyed serving hearty dishes from time to time.
