This recipe will be fully explained by Gilberte, in the FIRST EPISODE. So stay tuned. It is an easy, delicious and really special recipe that is usually cooked for Shabbat meals. Gilberte gives a wonderful story in the episode!
Gilberte collected many recipes from the various ‘secret’ cooks of the Montreal Sepharadic Community. She worked for many years with the eldery women of the Cummings Center, and realized they had so much knowledge that needed to be acquired! She collected all the recipes and published a wonderful book.
