I’ve been to 4550 miles from Delhi a few times and always found it really lovely. It’s usually the sort of place my friends and I go for a special occasion. The staff are really lovely and nothing ever seems like too much trouble. I’m always greeted like a regular, although I don’t frequent enough…

I love a stew. It tends to use up any leftovers in your cupboard and is great for these winter nights. This is, again, a vegan recipe. I have no idea why I’m cooking veggie dishes a lot this month, as I’m not one, but it’s so much cheaper and easier to cook. Tasty too!…
