I’m a foodie and an avid cook, but I think most meals cooked at home – especially those between Monday and Friday – should be uncomplicated, yet full of flavour and eye-appeal. I’m also a big believer in a beautifully set table, even for everyday meals. We all eat meals every day; when used deliberately, they’re built-in times to reconnect with ourselves and others.
The right balance of simplicity, working with what you’ve got in the house, and a little attention to presentation – even when things are hectic – can turn mealtimes at home into a time that you, and anyone else you live with, look forward to every day.
