Part of celebrating the holidays for The Abundant Table was our Christmas party at Duke’s in Malibu (which just happened to coincide with the 4-month anniversary of the start of the project). In addition to the wonderful dinner, I was sent off to spend three weeks with my family with (what else)…a loaf of bread Paul, … Continue reading …for the journey
