Who would I report to? http://ampland.fun/ amp land This is why the perfect garden lunch is difficult to pull off. In our efforts to be generous and cater for all tastes we make dishes that are complicated and cook too many of them. We put so much work into the event that the food needs to be praised, thus stopping the flow of conversation. You, the host or hostess, are busy back-timing dishes in a hot kitchen rather than chatting at the table. By the time your guests leave you are exhausted, and a sense of anticlimax descends as you wrap leftovers in clingfilm and shove them into the fridge. It has not been the relaxed affair you envisaged.
