Rana is a superb chef! Myself, family and friends had the good fortune to experience her Thanksgiving special. We are all foodies and we were super impressed by the skill, nuance, and flavors in the meal. It takes real talent to cook a turkey to that level of perfection. The sides were great, and that is the best pumpkin pie I have ever had!
