26 bites of indulgence, intimacy, enjoyment, savoryness, sweetness, succulent, amazing and incredible reasons to celebrate and reflect the past! Enter a 26th wedding anniversary for two of my most special guests. They are nothing short of inspiring to cook for, and to that of the highest level of inspiration mind you. I have been blessed to do so and have had the wonderful opportunity many times for their special day. I hope that someday i too can experience that. Each year, I add a course to reflect those special times and years. Happy Anniversary Roger & Loreena...
