A childhood favorite, now a winter time treat I make for friends and family here in Australia. Growing up on a tropical island full of coconut trees, why not make tastey treats with an item that’s basically free and easily found, coconuts.

I’d never heard of perogies before, so googled them andContinue reading “Nepalese Vegetarian Momos (Dumplins)”
