Year-round, food can be an expression of love. Sure, there are flowers,
jewelry, perfume, or other luxuries. Of course, as a chef and
restaurateur, I have a personal interest in filling my dining rooms with
guests on Valentine's Day. What to serve?
In my previous column, I talked about the special pleasures of throwing
casual, comforting dinner parties in winter.
Doesn't it seem like Christmas and New Year's were a whole year ago?
And, suddenly, we want to entertain all over again! Entertaining with a
delicious dinner is especially fun at this time of year.
You've probably heard the old saying that "first impressions always
count." But last impressions count, too. That doesn't mean, however,
that dessert has to be particularly elaborate.
As we all recover from our holiday celebrations and face the reality of
living up to our New Year's resolutions, I have encouraging news for
those who've sworn to lose weight in 2012. It makes good sense every
step of the way.
