Hi Meg,
I hope you are fine. You won’t believe it, but Josh and I finally decided to go on the cookery holiday in Italy that we had always dreamt of! We spent a lovely week in Tuscany, enjoying the regional cuisine and taking part in the daily cookery classes. The chefs chose some really easy dishes, which are all possible to prepare at home. We rolled out our own pasta, made delicious sauces and learned to make pizza in a wood burning pizza oven. Our favourite dessert was panna cotta, but Josh also learnt how to make a lemon pie.
We want to share this amazing experience with our friends, so we’ve decided to throw a Tuscany party. Will Saturday at 8 pm suit you and Bill? Please do come and enjoy some Italian cuisine with us.
Hope you both can make it.
Love,
Vivien

Food is something that ought to play an important role in everyone’s life. It has the potential to reflect our origins or social status or it can reveal the culture that we grew up in. It can both improve or damage our health. For some people, like my brother, food is simply one basic human need and they would rather give it up if possible and only exist on pills, like astronauts, in order to save time. For others, including my mum, food is so pleasurable that it dominates their life. It also serves as a way to discover distant countries and people.
As for myself, food has always been connected with expressing my feelings towards my amazing family. I cook nearly every day. I feel there is a little bit of me in the dishes I make and the tastes I create. I devote a lot of time and thought to them. Then we sit around the same table and enjoy our meal. And you? What does food mean to you?
