In the twinkle of an eye, it was Tamara's betrothal ceremony. She was so happy; she woke up early in the morning and asked her brothers to help her in the kitchen. She wanted to cook comfort food. The atmosphere in the kitchen was harmonious.

They were chatting and laughing. She had marinated T-bone Steak overnight. She put the meat in the oven and grilled it to medium rare. It was tender and succulent. Theodore washed and cut the vegetables.

Mark cooked soft pap and chakalaka. Jonathan made a green salad, and then he cooked the butternut.

Since Tamara wanted to impress her grandmother-in-law, she asked her sister-in-law to cook chicken. Victoria decided to cook Butter Chicken curry served with basmati rice. It was mouth-watering.

The aroma filled the kitchen. Tamara and her brothers asked Victoria to dish for them. Mark walked to his father with his food on a tray. He was not fond of chicken, but the aroma made him hungry.

When he tasted the food, he was surprised at how delicious it
