What is Centertaining™?

At the very heart of temp-tations is a simple idea that is very near and dear to my heart. The idea of regularly gathering with the special people in your life to share a meal is incredibly important, so I created temp-tations to help you make those gatherings easier and, therefore, more enjoyable.

Creating a comfortable and inviting space for those special meals is all part of the fun, but that process shouldn’t be difficult, costly, or require a lot of extra effort to prepare before your meal (or afterwards during clean-up). That’s where Centertaining comes in!

Centertaining is using special pieces to be the heroes of your gathering space to make your entertaining and mealtimes look and feel amazing. Adding these pieces to your table is like building a runway down your table for making memories and traditions together. Whether it’s your favorite casserole dish, a perfectly-sized serving bowl, or a serving platter that makes everything on it look even more delicious, your Centertaining piece is a must-have essential for your mealtimes. The go-to pieces you feel like you can’t live without will ultimately make your entertaining feel effortless.

The real trick is choosing beautiful Centertaining pieces that also make your gatherings easy to prepare for and clean up from. Temp-tations stoneware baking dishes, dinnerware, and serving pieces are all designed to handle all aspects of your meal from prepping, cooking, serving, and storing. For example, you can mix ingredients in a temp-tations cake pan and put it right into the oven for baking. Then take that beautiful dish right to the table for serving. It’s all possible because each of my stoneware pieces is as durable as it is pretty. The best part? They’re dishwasher safe, too!

Centertaining is all about using beautiful and functional pieces on your table to draw people together in a beautiful, comfortable environment. It’s as easy as picking your favorite pattern, then choosing your favorite colors. Then, when you invite your favorite people to the table, you can just sit back and enjoy the good times. All of this works together to ensure you have the right space for having meaningful conversations, sharing silly stories, and building strong memories and relationships. 

Temp-tations Outdoor Patio Centertaining

But Centertaining isn’t just for your dining room or kitchen table! Spending time together in your outdoor spaces, like your patio, garden, or deck should look and feel special too. The temp-tations collections also include specialized serveware, dining pieces, and décor to make your al fresco gatherings dazzle. When you add key pieces, specially designed for outdoor use to your patio table, you’ll add style and purpose… and some big smiles, too.

Next time you are planning a gathering, whether it’s for a special day or any day, I encourage you to think about the special cooking and serving pieces you have. Add them to your table filled with your favorite food—whether it’s home-cooked or takeout! You’ll create that space for engaging conversations and wonderful memories!
