It’s no secret that dinner parties are having a renaissance; the tradition of hosting an intimate group of friends over candlelit dinners is taking social media by storm, and influencer Isabelle Heikens is leading the charge.

Photo: Andy Lyons I’m a cappuccino lover, but when it’s the middle of summer and the weather app reads, “Feels Like 105,” you can be sure I have an iced coffee in hand. When I don’t want to spend $7 on an iced latte to get my morning caffeine fix, I turn to my trusty Nespresso. To avoid melting the ice too quickly, I brew a double espresso and chill it in the fridge for 30 minutes prior to assembling the iced latte. Needless to say, it requires some time and patience.
