Reply to "Meet the Kitchen Cabinet, 13 cooks who will be sharing their global recipes in the next year"

Abeba “Abby” Teklehaimanot and Mulugeta “Muller” Gebregziabher (Ethiopian)

Ethiopian natives Abeda Teklehaimanot and Mulugeta Gebregziabher moved to Charleston in 2006. Gebregziabher admits Teklehaimanot is usually in charge of their kitchen, but he helps however he can: The couple has cooked for various community events.

Favorite childhood food: Injera (fermented sourdough flatbread) with meat stew and shiro (dried chickpea powder) stew. During the holidays, doro wot (spiced chicken stew) was a “must-have.”

Current favorite food to make: Shiro, doro wot and gomen, a fragrant slow-cooked greens dish.

Keep in mind when cooking a Teklehaimanot/Gebregziabher recipe: Teklehaimanot and Gebregziabher adhere to Ethiopian culinary traditions, so their food strikes many Americans as spicy.
