For all the different dishes I make from literature, sometimes, it needs more. It needs atmosphere, props, costumes and people to make it truly believable. And those food scenes that inspire me often turn into parties.

I’ve neatly packaged up the parties I’ve done, and have listed the posts, both those with party setup photos, how to’s for decor, and recipe related, on this page.
