For me, I love that I would be able to bring more of a variety into dinner, we just get so tired of the same old stuff.
What appeals to me a lot is learning the stories behind many of the dishes. It’s always fun to have a little tale to go along with a recipe. It makes the cooking that much more fun.
Thanks and may you be blessed with happiness and good food!
