Second: The Right Lighting
They say a beautiful face looks lovelier by candlelight. Dead wrong! Candlelight is wasted on faces. Save it for the food!
Put out every lantern in the hall and leave a single red candle burning. With everything else in darkness, your guest will have eyes only for the dish.
In that flickering glow, even the humblest meal will look fit for an emperor.
Now lower your voice and announce the dish. Your guests will be blown away. Now that's how it's done!
