The beauty of working 20 years in culinary is having colleagues from around the world share their culture with me. From them I continue to learn new flavors and experiences in the kitchen. My colleagueJohn Alfy Edward who is now extended family has shared so much of his Egyptian homeland over the years. His Mama once visited from Cairo and prepared a Michelin-star-worthy feast that I still crave! When I happened upon a recipe for Goulash by Book of Dishes, I was excited to give it a go! I added cumin to the spices, used a mix of turkey and beef, added cilantro with the herbs and just a dash of nutmeg to the eggs and milk. We enjoyed with simply dressed field greens, tomato, cucumber and spiced yogurt. Hopefully John will enjoy as much as my family did, I represented the culture well and most importantly Mama will approve 💚 استمتع
