At URJ Camp Harlam in Kunkletown, PA, Rosanne “Bubbio” Selfon is something of a legend. In 2018, a teaching kitchen at camp was named in her honor, where campers eagerly await the chance to learn new recipes and techniques for baking and cooking.
This recipe from Bubbio is a fresh, delicious complement to any meal.

1 Tbsp. parsley, minced
½ tsp. salt
Pinch of pepper
