When we were little, we used to sit on the kitchen counter and help our grandmother make rotis. They would usually turn out to be strangely amoeba-like shaped, but we were so proud of them! And the moment they came off the roti pan, our grandmother used to slap a big chunk of ghee on … Continue reading
It’s always such a treat going to the farmer’s market on Sunday mornings. Lots of fresh produce, the smell of frying Cumberland sausages for selling in soft white rolls, creamy butter, cheese and milk straight from the farm and little mountains of crusty bread, quiches, tarts and cakes.

As soon as we booked the flight and hotel, we made a list of food we absolutely had to … Continue reading
If you have a grandmother like ours, then pretty much everything you were fed when you were growing up was made from scratch – except for Penguin biscuits of course, our gran let McVities handle those. It did mean that she was up very early, making fresh yoghurt, Indian breads, soaking the dals, a cake … Continue reading
