Aniko Birtch was a very special lady in my life. Aniko was my best friend, my partner and my love. She was also an amazing mother, and an awesome cook.
Aniko and I enjoyed cooking together, and this was a recipe that we came up with one afternoon collaborating in the kitchen. It was something we created for her Grandmother, something easy to portion out and freeze for her have on hand.
Almost as quickly as Aniko came into my life, she was gone. She was diagnosed with cancer, and after 11 short months of cramming as much life into every day that we could, she slipped away from us.
I cherish my memories of this very special lady, and this dish will always take me back to my time with her.
