Wild Flower Cooking
The sunshine came down in to our garden before Pesach with plenty dandelions all over part B of the Kalisher Community Garden. So many edible wild flowers – time for a grand feast!
And so it was my friends, down came the wonderful master of wild edibles and spread his lovely stories and knowledge to the community. The kids headed out with bowls that were filled in with greens and yellows and the mamas and papas making Hubeza Latkes in the field kitchen with dandelion green salad on the side…
Don’t forget to add to your visuals some lively Ethio-music and a desert spring sunset.
We try to have good times.. Come join us next time..
