    Chai is one of my new favourite things. I think most people of my generation and older are familiar with the term “cup of chai”, referring to a cup of tea but I have only recently discovered the particular blend of chai spices, and more specifically, chai latte.

    thedizzydieter

    As a household we seem to eat less and less meat as time goes on, not through any conscious decision or financial constraint but through learning to use and enjoy vegetables, pulses and particularly fish. A few years ago, we were eating a meat-based meal 6-7 days a week; nowadays…
