Serves: Family, friends, neighbours, unexpected visitors, and anyone willing to stay for coffee..

Prep Time: Sometimes you just gotta wing it on the spot

Cook Time: Lifetime

Ingredients: 3 generations of Armenian women 1 suitcase packed with memories 2 continents 3 tablespoons of resilience A handful of family recipes with measurements such as “на глаз and “you’ll know when it’s enough”. Endless cups of coffee and conversation A pinch of homesickness A large spoonful of laughter No sense of privacy whatsoever Fresh parsley, because no Armenian dish is complete without it

Directions: Mix together grandmothers who carried traditions forward, mothers who survived and persevered, and daughters who honor the traditions and follow the recipes. Do not attempt to measure ingredients precisely, any recipe that begins with exact quantities should be viewed with suspicion. Add laughter generously. When the mixture becomes too serious, season with humour and a reminder that every Armenian family gathering includes enough food to feed twice the number of guests expected. Finish with hope, fresh parsley, and the certainty that no matter where life takes you, someone will ask whether you’ve eaten yet.
