I am sucker for sweets, especially North Indian sweets. So when my stock of pedas. Ran out in August, one that my long suffering wife had replenished on a trip to India in July, I was looking for my sweet fix. So I decided to try my hand at making some. 1 Tbsp Black Mustard Seeds.

Great times, great food, great friends. Friday, 4 January 2013. Emily got me the Polpo cookbook. As part of my Christmas present after we visited their restaurant. The book is beautifully designed with an unusual binding, the illustration of an octopus on the front and lovely photography which includes lots of shots and stories of Venice making me want to go.

Well, after several months of hearing the raving reviews of Pok Pok, I finally made it in. We also tried their Kung Op Wun Sen, a dish consisting of prawns, pork belly, onions, cilantro, other great things, with bean thread noodles, cooked in a clay pot over charcoal. The noodles were fantastic! For drinks, well I had to get a tequila.
