When it comes to inter-
national cooking Heather
* an expert. Since last June
Heather, whose home is in
Johannesburg, South
Africa, has been traveling
throughout Europe en-
joying the sights, people
and foods of each country.
Beginning in Greece, a
country Heather name
beautiful islands,
beaches, quaint harbor
cafes and friendly people,
of France, Switzerland,
Italy, Northern France,
warden, and their
children, Michelle and
Clive of Huntsville.
Heather found Italy,
with its art work, to be
most interesting. Waking
up in Venice where you
must travel strictly by
canal boat is quite an
experience. Florence, an
impressive city, is full of
histo
Holland, England and
Austria.
Following a three week
stay in New York City,
Heather is now visiting
her aunt and uncle
Although Heather found
Colleen and Hans Lank-
beautiful ‘‘fairytale like
with its gingerbread style
houses, and loved Austria,
where she spent a great
deal of time on the ski
slopes, she found French
food most to her liking
Frenchfood was always
perfectly cooked in just
the right portion size,
seasoned with just the
proper amount of herbs.
Vegetables were very
tasty, done to perfection.
Heather found this cuisine
very different from that in
South Africa which is
really a combination of
Malaysian, Dutch,
and English
dishes.
Heather, who holds a
Bachelor of Arts degree in
English, speech and
drama; worked in public
relations before embark-
Since she speaks English,
French and Afrikaans,
language has not been too
great a barrier. Heather
loves traveling and
meeting new people.
Since one must travel
such a distance from
South Africa to visit
Europe and the United
Heather will
travel through the United
States visiting
Washington; Disney
World, New Orleans and
touring throughout the
western states. From the
United States she will
continue on to the
Caribbean, to South
America and back to
Johannesburg.
For our readers,
Heather has graciously
agreed to share some of
her favorite international
recipes: Gree Moussaka, 2-3 potatoes, boiled in
French Shrimp their skins, peeled and
Provencale, Italian dried $
Zabaglione and a Y% Ib. tomatoes, peeled
