This is a special article. The genius of the invitation to an unprepared lunch highlights the beauty of cooking and cooking together.

The description of the authors cooking with Judith is both intimate and distant. Personal and communal. And yet while silent, speaks to a deep friendship built on years of experience and taste and creativity.

My favorite aspect of the article is the lack of recipes. Meals can be whimsical and unexpected and memorable when the ingredients are there but the plan is not.

I’m sure I’ll be thinking of this article for years to come.
