An un-Expected connection at a Los Angeles pie contest, a red dirt road in España, and a recipe for Efo Rico--an excellent Nigerian vegan spinach stew from Nancy Mehagian's new cookbook.
Just the perfect dish I was looking for to use some kala chana—black chickpeas—I happen to have! Thanks for the introduction to Nancy, her cookbook and a great story!
I love the way you write hence I throughly enjoy your newsletter. I like that you project a carefree spirit and are open to new people and experiences, yet you are serious about what you do. Thanks
What a great story, Kate. And Nancy must have been a child when she loaned Mitchell her dulcimer, as she looks so young. Some friends and I are springing for the JoniJam at the Hollywood Bowl in October. I'm just thrilled.
Well, I’m definitely saving this episode, because I need that recipe. That stew is right up my alley. And how cool that Joni Mitchell composed California on Nancy’s dulcimer!
I wish I could sign up for the March 10 Maple walnut pie class, but I’m having carpal tunnel surgery on my dominant hand on March 7. So I’d better not.
Oh, I love everything about this, Kate! And the dulcimer! ❤️
Joni Mitchell + dulcimer + her voice + her lyrics = wonderful.
Delightful post!! So love the awesome connection to Joni Mitchell……thanks so much!
Oh boy does that “spinach stew” sound good. I’ll be making it SOON! Thank you.

I'm making this tonight! I'll order her book next pension check that comes.
I might just make a blueberry pie to go with it.
What a rich connection for both you and Nancy. I would say a capital "E." I'm just curious...about how many cookbooks do you have? ❤️

So I should sign up anyway???
Joni really can tell wonderful stories with her music. Just perfect!
Can you tell us a bit more about the savory hand pies class in May? Thanks!
Thanks, Kate! I may take that class. I've had trouble with meat pies in the past. Freezer foods are always welcome!
I REALLY loved this episode of your newsletter! And I just may have to try that recipe!🤗🥰
The dish turned out great! It will become a regular in our rotation. Thanks so much for sharing!
