I knew I wouldn’t be cooking for a while so I drafted a few recipes before I left Malawi 🇲🇼 for Italy 🇮🇹. Then I lost motivation to post them at all until the #Christmasgift challenge spark my excitement. There’s nothing I love more than gifting recipes; and what better way to do it than in an actual #Cookbook

So here goes something! 😊
