Mike is busy planning our next Supper-Club which will be Middle Eastern cuisine; and so he got stuck into Claudia Roden's amazing cookery book 'A Book of Middle Eastern Food' published 50 years ago.

The best vegan (aka dairy-free) pancakes for Tuesday 13th.... Ok, so Pancake day is coming up. At our restaurant in London this was our busiest night of the year!!

Over the course of the day and evening we would make more than 500 pancakes
