Thanks for your presentation Ksenija. It's really interesting how some customs are so similar and others are so different, such as growing wheat. Do you have any recipes for the traditional foods / cakes that you could add? Claire

Hello! The whole idea is to find that- after all- we are more similar than different, I believe. YES, I have a lot of recipes to add!!! I've thought of that this week and I'm sending them next week! All my best! Ksenija
