Roast Pork |
|
|
|
I am from Greece. In the 1960's we did not have much money to spend, so my mother grew all the food she needed and made everything at home. In the kitchen my mother used a firewood stove to do all the cooking. Next to the kitchen was the dining room. In it was a dining table for twelve people which my father made. Occasion: When is this dish served? On special occasions such as Christmas and Easter, a lot of people came to the house and my mother would cook all day. This recipe was taught to me by my mother. She cooked a roast pork leg for Christmas dinner. I always helped my mother cook it. I still cook this meal. |
