cook. knit. eat. wear.
So with Easter looming ahead of me, I, of course, was trying to determine what we should have for dinner. The truly traditional lamb was not to be. Not only am I not a fan of lamb, but I have never made it for my family, nor have I ever forced them to eat it….
this is a cookbook, cultural history written by nicole ponseca & miguel trinidad. it is my goal to read and cook my way through this book, and writing about it through this blog. but i will enjoy several journeys on this blog – not just this book. and chances are, i will embark on several…
