reminds me of the book and movie Like Water For Chocolate...where the protagonist affects everyone through the food she prepares. when she's heartbroken she has everyone in tears after eating.

it's always stayed in my head when i cook for others. unfortunately cooking for more than 2 people can stress me out....now when i have different people for dinner i cook the same dish each time. my old faithful. as i've never mastered the art of timing....in anything! i better get out of my comfort zone and use another fail proof recipe. if only people were more open to home delivered indian takeways when they come over to stay!
