The Waldie is back! This one is for Christine Waldman!
We dove into her Ukranian roots and decided to go with a true classic - beet borscht. Chrisitne was so generous with the development of this soup, she even provided me with pics of her mother’s original hand-written recipes!
In delving into the world of Christine, I also uncovered another fun bit of her early years. She was once in a dinosaur fruit roll-up commercial! One of her big lines was “they’re wild!”. I’m sure the dinos would tear into this borscht. Who knows, maybe this fun soup will help you dive into your wildside too!
