Simple courses

There is a European epidemic sweeping the kitchens of American households. An ancient Western tradition of multi-course meals has been attacking the core of our homes for many decades now; the saddest thing is that our minds are also infected and there is little have we done to cure this. This obsession with having the need to have excessive food to eat on our tables has created physical and psychological effects to our existence. For some people, who live to eat, just the thought of running low in their refrigerators or pantry cabinets brings anxiety, depression and worries. On the other hand, people who eat to live are used to single-course meals and prefer it that way. If we think about it, single-course meals represent simplicity and humility. It seems to me that when these two aspects come together, people live a much happier and fuller life.

  1. What are some really impressive single courses? Like something you can use at an event or special dinner party that holds its own instead of multi-course dinners?
