From Grady
"This series of dinners will be served in the family style - Long tables where the food is served on platters for each party.I hosted these dinners in Los Angeles on a regular basis and they garnered a good following.The idea is to create a fun, communal atmosphere with a strong emphasis on powerful seasonal flavours. Here’s to celebrating the bounty of ingredients available on our doorstep and slightly beyond."
