So, cooks: Say “Om,” and pretend the situation is reversed. You are going to your cousin’s, your mother’s, your sister-in-law’s, your best friend’s. These are people you love, you’re happy to have been invited, and you’re looking forward to gorging, perhaps drinking too much, yelling across the table, laughing out loud. This is the spirit in which most of your guests will be arriving. They’re glad you’re cooking for them, and they’re rooting for you.

Forget your fears, relax, and enjoy it. It doesn’t have to be perfect to be good.

Holy mother of healthy lunches. You’re looking at a kale, seaweed, quinoa and mandarin salad.

Got caught in the rain biking home, so…..

A little bit of elbow grease and a lot of swearing later, we had delicious homemade parpadelle
