Welcome to Table Notes

Definition of Community: Middle English communite, citizenry, from Old French, from Latin commnits, fellowship, from commnis, common.]

Welcome to Table Notes, the foodblog of Nicole-Anne Boyer and Toby Paterson and friends. (We hope to add contributers so let us know if you are interested!)

After years living and working in different ports of call -- Singapore, San Francisco, Vancouver, BC and now currently Paris, France -- we've learned that the best way to form community is around a dinner table. Flowing wine, beautiful food, lots of laughter, and great stories is all that it takes to reaffirm old connections and make new ones: the recipe for the good life so simple, a much needed respite from a increasingly complex world.

In following our culinary bliss, we've collected lots of good things to cook from different people, cultures and cities which serendipitiously have turned out to be fabulous eating places. The success of food blogs has now inspired us to create a virtual meeting place where good memories, recipes, and handy cooking tips can be shared amongst our friends, family, and with other kindred foodies. No more need to write down the recipe because it will all be here! Indeed, one of the most attractive things about food blogs is the connectivity they're creating between food lovers, whether they be many time zones away or within the same city. We look forward to being part of this growing community. Happy eating!

- Nic and Toby
