Hi Dianne, I just listened to your interview with David Lebovitz and it was great, light, funny and talking relevant information, I am early days on here, Substack appreciate good writing. I did buy the magazine Gourmet Traveller just to read A.A. Gill, writing about some far off land in only the way he did. Also, not a food writer, but what a writer ! also, the late, Christopher Hitchens both controversial in their fields. I shall enjoy catching up on you articles.

Wonderful story. You are one of many with complicated memories of your mom. I congratulate you on being the resilient, confident person you are, who was able to look at your mom as a person and try to understand why she was the way she was. I look forward to trying the recipe, it sounds like such an interesting combination of flavors.
