There’s something about food that brings joy and comfort to all of us. Food is central to all our gathering traditions and has a special way of connecting us to moments, experiences and each other like nothing else can. A cooking smell or the taste of a favourite dish (or least favourite dish!) can transport you to another place and time. Even the act of preparing food for others does wonders for the soul. During times of separation and uncertainty, it’s more important than ever to return to the ritual of gathering; to take the time to celebrate the simple joys in life with the ones you love.
