Food can bring people together making them feel either welcome or alienated. If you want to know what someone is really like, share a meal together. Many are able to hide behind carefully chosen words or rehearsed facial gestures, but the proverb, you are what you eat, expresses a basic truth about human nature.

First, food choices contain the ingredients of core values—soul food. Second, food and mood correlate highly. Third, changing what you eat can transform habits in other activities of daily living. Therefore if you are trying to improve your marriage and all the verbiage is not working, try changing the menu!

Pick a theme for your barbeque. Eva Ingvarson, a trend expert from Evite says, "Select a theme and carry it through from decorations to food preparations." By the way, "grilling meat" is not a theme.

I ate Serrano ham for the first time yesterday. It being one of the delicacies of Spain, I should have been thrilled, but instead I just felt sick. The problem is that I’m vegetarian and I haven’t eaten meat since I was about seven. It happened quite unexpectedly at a moment when I had my guard down. I was swayed by the restaurant’s modern decor, the 2-fork Michelin rated sign at the door, and most likely, by the fact that we were hungry and it was siesta time, which severely limited our options and I didn’t give much thought that there were no vegetarian options on the menu. Surely in such a nice restaurant they could make something for me even if it didn’t exist on the menu. After all, even in the most casual and smallest of restaurants I could always find my trustworthy patatas bravas (potatoes with a slightly spicy sauce).
