Gujerati Vegetable Curry

A simple, easy curry that's good served with warm chappatis or brown rice. Alternatively, try our easy dahl recipe - and add a dollop of plain soya yoghurt on the side for good measure!

Socca Pizza with Cream 'Cheese', Sun-dried Tomatoes & Artichoke Hearts

Nothing to do with football… . Rather, it is a mixture between a pizza and a crêpe! Socca is traditional street food from Nice – with a similar dish found in Genoa but called Farinata by the Italians. We have given it a modern twist.
