Tomorrow is World Food Day which is an international day to increase awareness about global hunger and malnutrition. As an ambassador for Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution in Slovakia I have been asked to share something that represents food in my country. So I have taken one of my favourite Slovak dishes and made healthy changes to the recipe for you all.
