On 13th November Fikrte prepared a delicious Ethiopian meal for us all. Many of us had never tried Ethiopian cuisine before and we were excited to have this unique opportunity of trying her traditional and very healthy recipes including injera - a most unusual type of bread.
Moon brought along a huge feast for us all to share as well as preparing her fried noodles dish which

the ingredients and doing a quiz together and then telling each other the names of kitchen utensils and
equipment in our home languages. These were: Cantonese, Mandarin, Turkish, Hungarian, Russian, Ukrainian,
