I attain great pleasure and reward when I get a return invite to cook again for a previous guest. It is a testament to my cooking and gives me a great feeling of satisfaction. I first cooked for Gary's wife at the beginning of this year for a birthday party and cooked for them together just last week. I had great feedback from both occasions and was looking forwards to cooking up some great food again. The party was a get together of good friends for Christmas and it was a great atmosphere to be a part of. I felt very at ease cooking in an open plan kitchen, putting my culinary skills on display throughout the evening. Everything went brilliantly and I was invited to enjoy a few beers with everyone at the table after the desserts were enjoyed.
