“Cooking is like love. It should be entered into with abandon or not at all.”
~Harriet Van HorneDuring February, I shared some of my favorite dishes I enjoy making and even some new loves. One of the most wonderful things about food is how intimate, heart-warming, and comforting it can be. It can be more than just food on a plate. It can be a love note, a kind gesture, a blanket of nostalgia, and a warm hug. Here are the plates from 28 days of heartfelt dishes.
