Good food might just be a moral belief for me...if that's a thing? When you can whip up something real for dinner, something that makes you feel proud to serve it to a friend or your family, it gives you the power to create community around your table. I really think that's why I love good food so much, it brings people together.

The other beautiful thing about the table is that it gives people permission to slow down. To pause, look at each other and enjoy. Put a little good food in the middle and you have the magical key to unlock community.

Better yet is when the food is delicious and it didn't take all day to prepare!

Cheers to filling your table with good food, great conversation and time to enjoy. If you want even more delicious recipes to inspire community, check out our book Dinner Changes Everything. I loaded it full of homegrown menus and recipes, plus stories to inspire you with the power of community.

**Make a double batch of everything and you'll have lunch and dinner for a few more days. It makes the best 'salad bowl' straight out of the fridge!

***Also, yes this is a 3 part recipe! You can serve them individually or use them to create a CousCous Bowl!
