A knock on the door, always brought much excitement in our household, invariably, it meant either friends, coming to visit or family, coming to spend an afternoon or weekend with us. And it always meant flowers, chocolates, cakes and allsorts of delicacies would be the offerings brought by our guests. It's the knock on the door that heralds the start of every social engagement, when I go to visit friends, the joy of knocking on their door, and the anticipation of seeing their smiling faces when they open the door and checks are kissed and hugs are enjoyed. A journey of friendships, travels, stories and food that starts with a knock on the door.
