Love is in the (Cape) Air

In a distant past, many, many years ago, young Andi was on a date with a boy from Sheffield whose family was in the cutlery business (yes - that Sheffield). 


She thought it was polite - in a somewhat odd, very British way - that he waited for her to pick up her knife and fork before he picked up his.


It was only many years later that the truth came out - he was waiting to see whether she picked up the correct ones for the course being served.


Talk about the Princess and the Pea!


Here's the thing though - he got it all wrong. The best way to break the ice is to ditch the cutlery altogether. A shared platter of prawns, peeled and eaten by hand, makes everything so much easier. No formality, no fuss, just food that forces you to be present.


Which brings me to Valentine's Day - at Dish we know that the real way to someone's heart is through the plate. This Valentine's Day, pick your own adventure: a full-service private dining experience with one of our chefs (they'll handle everything while you relax) or a luxury meal drop-off featuring your favourite flavours (we deliver, you plate up and take all the credit).


Love,
