Farewell 2023!

Ever since starting this blog, we’ve done our year end roundup of our favorite recipes and other statistics (see: Adieu 2022, So Long 2021!, Good Riddance 2020, Goodbye 2019!, Recap of 2018, and Looking Back on 2017) Kinda hard this year with the very few posts we’ve made, but I hate to break tradition…

2023 Year in Review

So instead of favorites, I’ll rank the five we did share in order of favorite:

1. Chinese Turnip Cake
2. Ginger-Garlic Meatballs in Coconut Broth
3. Mazesoba
4. Gaziantep’s Celebration Soup (Yuvalama Çorbası)

We obviously failed at the “blog more frequently” goal from last year, but we finally succeeded in returning to international travel for the first time since the pandemic! We ate lots of amazing food in both Italy and Türkiye.

Here’s to cooking some good food in 2024!
