I went to a pastry-making class at a local woman’s home this morning and made banitsa. Ramona hosted a group from the ship and served us Bulgarian yogurt, which was very creamy. Banitsa is a traditional Bulgarian dish that can be sweet or savory, and people tend to serve it on Christmas and New Year’s Eve.
