Diner en Blanc - What's cooking?
In our series #stayhome, we figure it would be the ideal time to test or improve our culinary talents. During trying times or challenges, cooking can be therapeutic and bring a sense of calm to our days.
We would love for you to share with us and Dîner en Blanc community your favourite recipes whether it is your own concoction, a family recipe, your go-to-comfort food, your favourite cooking website… Share and tag us on Facebook (@DinerEnBlancInt) and Instagram (@dinerenblancint) and/or using #dinerenblanc #stayhome and cook.
Here are some recipes we enjoy and thought you would too.
