Tibetan Bread 3
  Every morning during our stay in Pokhara, I woke up in our cosy guesthouse, pulled on my only jumper and pottered down to the reception-come-family home to order our breakfast.    Ten minutes later, a knock on our door announced the arrival of a friendly Nepali man, complete with our […]

The BEST welsh cakes I've tasted...
    This is the only thing I remember my Nan baking or cooking but they are divine. Now also known as ‘Mum’s welsh cakes’ or ‘Aunty Carole’s welsh cakes’, they are a firm family favourite all year round.   Because welsh cakes are cooked on the hob rather than […]
