• I’ve added a casual chat room to CookingBites as a place for off-topic banter, light conversation, and short-lived chit-chat that doesn’t belong in forum threads. The chat room is informal and lightly-to-not moderated, with messages being temporary, so it’s ideal for friendly back-and-forth that would otherwise derail discussions. Site rules still apply, but there’s no reporting system or expectation of post-by-post moderation - if something becomes uncomfortable, the right response is to step away. If a topic has substance or lasting value, it still belongs in the forums; everything else can head to chat.

What would you cook for a CookingBites visitor?

The scenario: You’ve become quite friendly with someone/a couple on CookingBites and guess what? They’ll be in your area in the nearish future. Yay!

You’d like to invite them over for a delicious, home-cooked meal as part of a memorable visit.

What would you prepare? Would you go all-out, course after course of elegant dishes, or would you keep it simple, and maybe showcase some sort of comfort food?

Would you cook something considered a traditional part of your national identity, or would you like to surprise your guest(s) with something unexpected from some other faraway culture?

I’ll have to think about my own answer for a bit, but in the meantime, what’s yours?
 
My go to dish, balsamic chicken. Simple, easy, served with a salad, they will never leave, haha. Maybe I’ll then serve them beetroots so they will leave the following day, for sure.
 
It would depend a lot on who it is :)
Most likely SE Asian comfort food, but it could be a full Indonesian rijsttafel if I am in the right mood
