“The host and cook went above expectations for us. We wanted to try a vegetarian dish, and they went so far as to find bread fruit in a neighbor's tree, because it was not the season to find it in the store. The kitchen was spotless, much cleaner than mine. We cooked more lamb then we could possibly eat, yummy 😋.”
