Sgt. John Gotia, a Financial Management Specialist organic to the 374th Finance Battalion, supports the U.S.-led Kosovo Force Regional Command East in it’s 27th rotation and channels his resiliency amidst the challenges of being deployed during the COVID-19 pandemic by connecting with his cultural community and cooking on Saturdays at Camp Bondsteel, Kosovo.
Gotia procures his vegetables from a garden he maintains outside of his office to make Asian cuisine and shares his culinary spirit with multiple Soldiers in the brigade.
“I enjoy gardening as it reminds me of home and helps the time pass by and be creative with our ingredients,” said Gotia. “Cooking Asian food is my norm and a communal event with family and friends as well as seeing other people enjoy our food.”
Gotia and several other Soldiers who share an Asian cultural background gather every Saturday to make traditional dishes.
