Blending Traditions

Written by Karina Hines | Apr 9, 2022 11:24:17 AM

Writing this week's menu made me think about food and traditions and how cooking can blend traditions across oceans and times.

Food is a great communicator; it is welcoming and can show sentiment, compassion, love, gratitude and abundance without a single spoken word.  

Next week is Passover & Easter ~ two different religious celebrations with solid food traditions and a central theme of rebirth. 

I grew up knowing nothing about Passover; I have learned much over years of cooking Passover meals for an extraordinary family; it has become a tradition for me and a cherished event.

This week’s menu reflects recipes from the Passover meals I cater each year.
I always make brisket and my grandmother’s pavlova or meringues with berries and cream,
a blending of traditions!

wishing you vibrant health K
