Nothing 100% replace home cooking...Micky and I were in the catering trade. We belonged to the Catering trade Association. Once a month, the chefs of restaurants etc. each took a turn to make a wonderful display of their favourite foods....and all us members would enjoy a great time eating. Micky and I always had a very pleasant time when eating a meal at their place. Some of them were italian. Mackintosh chef, when his turn to show off came, he did all the cold buffet in my name !!! I have good memories of all of them...gmx
