Here’s
the part where I am supposed to tell you a lovely story about this salad and
how to make it. And I surely will! But today is special because, for the very
first time, I am guest blogging at Cooking with Books for the talented Marnely. At first, I was nervous
to put my virtual hand up when she was looking for guest volunteers because
food bloggers who are actual qualified chefs sometimes intimidate me. But Marnely isn’t like that at all! In fact, I connected with her through two
Facebook groups. One is all about
professional development but the other is called The Cookbook Junkies. How can you not like someone who would join a group like that?! Truth be told, it is not a self-help group
because we tend to encourage each other in our addiction - sharing new cookbook
finds and good-naturedly competing for cookbooks giveaways - but isn’t that how bonds of
friendship form? I knew at once that she
was my kind of people. First of all, she
is into food. Secondly, she is an expat
like me, since she moved from her home in the Dominic Republic to live in the
United States. Lastly, and this may be
my favorite reason of all, she has written a love letter to beets. As a lover of beets, I only wish they could be a staple in my home. Deep sigh.
So hop on
over and read my post and have a browse around Marnely’s site. I know you are going to love her too!
