I've just returned home from an evening with Meena Patak, the well-known curry sauce and pickle mogul. She's quite the life and soul of the party, believe me, and when I told her my new recipe for naan breads with the minimum of fuss she simply insisted on me popping round to hers for a cup of masala chai and a quick kneading over the tandoor.
Anyway, as we were mopping up a selection of Meena's experimental pickles, she happened to mention the rise of cookery blogs, and suggested that I get onto the scene, tapping out my culinary expertise in a delicately-fragranced cloud of pink nail varnish and intensely stimulating high heels.
Here you go, Meena - this one's for you!
