We heat our plates at home and I suppose at the end the food is only warm but I don't mind. Putting out one course at a time would help and is of course very French. Some meals like casserole I like to serve in a big individual dinner bowl like a pasta bowl. That helps keep the heat in. And stirfry/rice plus pasta meals. Do you have any of these bowls? They might be a good addition to your kitchen.Fiona Ferrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01493105915055099408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4130537499074859934.post-84723892701978698272015-06-27T00:40:51.416+12:002015-06-27T00:40:51.416+12:00We've been reading a lot of Michael Pollen'...We've been reading a lot of Michael Pollen's books here lately and it has made me appreciate the French outlook about food even more. I often think how lucky I am to eat the food I do, at the setting we have made, etc. However, I'm aware that I eat far too fast, almost always finishing before my husband. One of my reasons is that we live in a cold climate and I don't like letting my food get cold. I've tried heating the plates, but even this doesn't always work. This winter I plan to trial serving one course at a time, leaving the others heating in the kitchen. Any other suggestions about preventing cold food on plates? I can't envision eating in the French (leisurely) fashion unless this problem is solved.Shelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10239488936038510294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4130537499074859934.post-73073221861180753502015-06-26T15:07:46.524+12:002015-06-26T15:07:46.524+12:00So many of those are things we used to do at my Gr...So many of those are things we used to do at my Grandma's table.
