Chefs are inherently lazy when it comes to feeding themselves. But that doesn’t mean we want take out or TV dinners.

We’ve got standards and a few tricks up our sleeves to get food on the table in minutes.

A rice bowl is one of many tricks I’ve got up my sleeve

Cause…

Rice is king,

but any grain will do.

You can top rice with just about anything.

It is filling, neutral, and cheap.

Our first gathering was intimate and telling that this was exactly what a lot of us have been needing.

We took turns passing our dish around the table, discussing the recipe and tasting.

Everyone chose different recipes (cause things have a way of working themselves out)

And since all the recipes were created by the same author, the meal flowed together seamlessly and even ended with a dessert.

The gathering felt warm, conversation flowed easy and the night ended tastefully 💕

Next cookbook gathering is March 14th
Details are on my website
