Friday, 25th June 2010. There are 48 Comments.

My first published article came out in Edible Toronto’s Summer Issue. Edible is a magazine based on sustainable food and the farm scene with over 65 chapters across the United States. The inimitable Gail Gordon Oliver is the founder of the Edible Toronto chapter in Canada. The article was about my move from Rome, Italy to Toronto, Canada a year and a half ago, and the aromas of my childhood which made me feel at home in a new city.
Here is the link to the article, which I have also pasted below, with the recipe and a video of myself talking about kheer. (more…)
