The Help Force

Hello Helpers! Welcome back finally to another edition of Food for Every Soul by myself, Mayathefirst! In this series I interview people from the Help Force about their favorite and famous recipes. For this one, I decided to interview my very close best friend, former Commander of HF, she calls herself the HF survivor but for today we know her as HF Icon: Snowy! 

I started off by asking Snowy some questions about the recipe she decided to share with us today!

Welcome Snowy to the interview! Can you tell us what recipe you will talking about today?

Snowy: Hi Maya! The recipe I’m sharing today is called Paella, it’s a rice/chicken/shrimp/chorizo dish. Some people make it slightly differently but this is the one that I make.

Can you tell us why this recipe is important to you? Is it a family recipe, and is there any history or story behind it?

Snowy: It’s been in the family for the past decade or so, when my mom found it on the internet. We make it every year for holidays or special occasions.
