Rafe Tolland believes the finest home dinner parties prioritize host presence and relaxed conversation over fussy, high-stress kitchen perfectionism. After planning staff, suppliers and bookings for the cafe and small-events venue he co-owns, he collects groceries and bread from independent West End shops before welcoming eight guests to his Queenslander. Carving slow-roasted citrus pork shoulder with bread bought locally proves that meticulous backwards timelines keep hospitality joyful and unhurried.
