Life in 3 courses
Halla tells their story
Let's dive deeper into Chef's 3 courses today! As you learn about the story behind the dish, I challenge you to utilize the decor options present here today to create imagery/content that brings Chef's nostalgia with theses dishes to life.
Course 1 - Steamed Dolmas w/Labneh
Halla grew up with fond memories of their mother making large batches of Dolmas for them and their brothers. There were so many dolmas made that their fridge would consistently be filled. This dish became a staple finger food for Halla, whether it was snacking around the house, or taking the Dolmas on the go. This is a dish that Halla strictly makes on their own as not many restaurant can ever make them as good as their Mom.
