Some of the best times I have had with friends and family have been over a meal. Since scent plays such an enormous role in invoking memories of the past, food is the perfect way to celebrate and just “be” together. Later, detecting a familiar sweet or savory aroma can bring back those wonderful memories.

I like that tradition of making food for people at such times. A very real kind of comfort food.

This dish looks absolutely delicious. It was very sweet of you to cook such a nice dinner for your friend.

Food – especially dinner – has been used in my family as a kind of wordless embrace for generations. My grandmother was especially fond of cooking up a nice meal of something tasty any time something was going wrong, and after funerals the grieving family doesn’t need to cook for months (assuming they have the freezer capacity, of course.)

Funnily enough, Saturday was actually my first time to make this particular curry (though I do make curries quite a lot). I’ve loved pretty much everything I’ve made from Atul Kochhar’s book, so I knew it wouldn’t disappoint!

Thank you so much for the link to my post! I’m so pleased and flattered that you enjoyed it. Hopefully, it won’t take us long to post the next entry.

Your final paragraph captures that intangible power of food to nourish more than the physical self. It sounds like you and your friends had a marvelous feast.
