Lula was kind to show us cooking from her country "Ethopia" and it was pretty special. To be honest it reminded me of my own "Indian cooking". So many things were similar in both the cuisines from lentils to the way of cooking to spices and the way you eat "with hands". Maya was a perfect host and we had so much fun cooking and we ate a lot. Here is a glimpse:

 |
| After making the breads you spread them on a cloth |
 |
| It reminded me of Indian Dosa, but it was cooked without any fat, |
 |
This was the stack of "Ingera" enough to feed a town, and we finished it :) well!!! Almost!

 |
| Lots and lots of onions |
 |
| Some more veggies |
