Missionary bloggers have a unique way of cooking.  Sometimes they’re learning to local dishes in an unfamiliar culture.  Sometimes they’re trying to cook something familiar, with unfamiliar ingredients.  And sometimes they’re just having fun!

So in this post, let’s look at recipes missionaries have shared in the past – first, some with a cultural flavour, either very authentic or variations.  Then, some unique recipes that are just for fun!  (Note: once in a while the recipe isn’t in the post, but is linked to).
