I was raised by the most incredible parents. Both refugees to Canada from Afghanistan, and growing up they fed us plenty of delicious Afghan food. I hope through these recipes you feel more of a connection to the beauty of Afghanistan and its people. Thank you for being here and for your support ❤

A special thanks to @drewbinsky for sharing all of the beautiful footage of Afghanistan
