Flavors from around the world this week! Homemade dumplings that turn into a comforting soup, an express beef stroganoff that takes us on a journey, and a pan-fried cod that reminds us of the Gaspé. Soups prepared in large quantities, like the tortellini soup, make lunches easier, while European hot dogs on Fridays add a festive touch to the week.
