Close your eyes and place your finger on a map. Wherever it lands, that's the theme of the evening. So many times we settle for routine dishes. This forces you to try new cuisines.

Protein has been intensely over-represented on the plate. Now, the garden should be the main drag for main courses.

You have to be generous if you want to spend your time making someone else dinner. Even if you're charging, you're still giving.
