Thank you everyone for checking in and following #storycooking and #storycookingbrazil .

The past year was very intense with many changes for our little family. As you know, we moved to Brazil. We had a lot of celebrations that included good byes, welcomes and a lot of cake! I also got to travel with my husband to Peru and celebrated our birthdays with awesome hikes.

Now we are ready to settle in Rio de Janeiro, the kids spent time with grandma and brushed up on their Portuguese. We ate a lot of tropical fruits and I was able to keep cooking with friends, relatives and local schools. You can find recipes with the photos on my Instagram feed @elliemarkovitch . Yes, you can see above, my #beetlove still strong.
