Why? It's a payment for services, not a donation to a registered
charity. We don't get a tax deduction for the food purchase (here, we
are charged tax).

You can deduct business expenses, whatever they are. If you call a
plumber to come fix the plumbing at your business, then you can deduct
that as a business expense. If you call a plumber to come fix the
plumbing at your house, that's not a business expense.

In general, personal expenses are not deductible. The deduction
for compensation expense is allowed when incurred in the conduct
of a trade or business.

But if he's worth top dollar and doesn't charge it, you may tip him.
We (US type Americans) tip works of all sorts, not just restaurant
workers.

I love cooking with wine.
Sometimes I even put it in the food.

It's only a business expense to eat at a restaurant if that is part of
the business. I would assume that those people are already counting
the whole meal, including the tip when figuring deductions. Most
people and most meals are not business expenses.

********************************************
You can take the tax deduction for meals if you're entertaining a client
(work must be discussed) or if your company sends you away on a business
trip, but only up to 50% of the total cost (including tip).

Huh? Why would they be tax deductions? They aren't charity. It's no
different from giving gifts of money to your relatives or friends,
which you don't deduct, anyway.



Christmas dinner: A whole beef tenderloin with wine/mushroom sauce:

Wine/Mushroom Sauce for Beef Steak or Whole Tenderloin
Nancy Dooley
3 packages of "mini" portabella mushrooms one large onion - diced
3 cloves of fresh garlic
2 tbs. of Worcestershire (sp?) sauce
4 tbs. of butter
1/4 cup of white wine
1/2 cup of sour cream
2 bay leaves
3 - 4 tbs. flour
1/2 - 1 cup of beef broth (from roast or canned broth) fresh dill and
fresh parsley

Saute onion and garlic in butter, then add mushrooms for just a few
minutes. In a separate pan, make a "paste" (roux) of 2 tbs. butter
and flour (with salt and pepper). Add the beef broth and
Worcestershire sauce to the roux. Remove mushrooms etc. from the saute
pan - add the wine to cook down, and then the fresh herbs. Slowly mix
together the beef liquid to the roux (paste) with a whisk and then add
the sour cream and mix slowly. Last - add the cooked mushrooms to the
thickened sauce and heat until just hot (don’t cook any more). Add
more pepper and dill to taste.
