My Food Story!

Voncille, Age 49

Cuyahoga County Public Library - Maple Heights

My mom is Liberian and made one of the native dishes I absolutely love, Cassava Leaves, which is a savory stew. It was occasionally made but would bring such comfort and enjoyment. I thought all Cassava Leaves were the same. I learned her secret was chopped spinach which made hers the best!
