Le Dejeuner de Noel

Some of my well-traveled American friends and my European friends embrace a concept that I often forget about:  the Christmas lunch.  It's a simpler, more casual version of a dinner party, and often has a smaller guest list than a Christmas party.

On the runway to what is the ultimate entertaining holiday, we have a choice:  we can stress out or we can relax. I choose relax.

Brunching

Our friend Pallavi taught us everything we know about brunch.  a well selected group of friends, a simple menu, a good bottle of champagne and a lazy sunday afternoon are all you really need to make it memorable.

Moroccan Tea Ritual

Moroccan Tea Ritual

Although the Morrocan Tea ritual is a tradition practiced to conclude meal times, it is also be practiced in isolation at various times of day. Often before or after school or the wok day or when guests come to the house. It is an act of love, and hospitality, and a reminder to take a minute to unwind, and connect with those that you appreciate.
