Some exciting news - so please forgive the double post today! I’ll be doing a live tomorrow with @rachelanndolfi and @thefeedfeed where I’ll be making and talking about Chomlek (a beautiful beef stew with just beef, garlic, shallots and vinegar), Shopska salad and somun (Balkan flatbread)! We will be live at 11am NYC time / 4pm London time. Super excited, and hope to see you there! 💕
