I love this, maybe because I’m in the same category! Also I was just thinking it was time to make my favorite latkes recipe. I hope you’ll share yours too.

I love how you embrace the joy of food and writing about it. My fav grilled cheese is Oxacan cheese, caramelized onions melted between a flour tortilla with homemade tomato soup. Thank you again Ruth!

This was so lovely to read Ruth. Years of home cooking, trying new recipes and eating all manner of things makes you well qualified to write and talk about food, and reading what you write, it’s obvious that it brings you a lot of pleasure.

Once again your writing about your love of food and writing is spot on. I also tried the mayo on the bread for grilled cheese and it was perfect..
