Two women of color sharing our love of food, friendship & culture
I am normally in France at this time of year but alas we couldn’t make it this summer so I wanted to throw back to a delicious dish I had a few years ago. My friend Sarah has the most gorgeous house in Bordeaux and she is a phenomenal cook. If you’re lucky, the Eclade de Moules is her showstopper…
