Recipe Story

My grandma was from the Guyanese countryside. She raised turkeys, chickens and ducks and grew her own vegetables to provide for her family of 6 children. She cooked everyday getting up at 4am to cook for her husband who would go to work for the day. She altered her cooking style as she became aware of other nationalities. One of her recipes she left for us was her vegetable chowmein.
