Please help me remember this ancient food essay

This goes back, possibly to the late 80s! The writer had to host a very famous food writer or restaurant critic. She (pretty sure the writer was female) fell back on Smithfield Ham, brandied peaches, tiny fresh peas. Possibly there was a cheese souffle? Before the august guest came she held a "practice dinner" with her family. When the actual guest was there, one of her children spilled the beans about the rehearsal dinner. Any ideas? I remember it as amusing, and would like to reread.
(And Mrs. Tuck spills the beans about last night's practice party when Claiborne compliments her on the cheese souffles.)
