This past Sunday we had our monthly meeting of the Culinary y Vino Conquistadors at Eileen and Luis’ home. The focus of this month’s gathering was to prepare recipes of Turkish origin, focusing mainly on two blogs “Almost Turkish Recipes” and “Ozlem’s Turkish Table”
As anticipated the event was an outstanding success and all of the recipes were delicious!
