OK, so last time I posted on the blog I was in Vietnam, which was, yikes, a little while ago. But anyway it's high time to fire it back up again as I’m now on a 4.5 month sabbatical from work (thanks, thanks, thanks to my lovely bosses!) and making my way through South India, …

Hello all you lovely bloggers! I am continually fascinated by everything I read about travel in this wonderful community that is travel blogging, and I would love for you and your blog to feature here.

This is the second recipe in my series of posts inspired by Jolene Hart's Eat Pretty philosophy. OK so it's cold, snowy even, and you might not want to eat salad right now, but this, from Leon's cookbook (and sold in all of their restaurants, should you live in London and be fortunate enough to …
