We did have Kung Po chicken and rice as well, lest you think we live on cake here!! I think I could embrace being vegan if it involves flapjack, cookies and chocolate fudge cake! The book looks interesting, will check it out - I also love Bath, high time I visited again.

I agree - it's definitley a place everyone should visit at least once. If I had to leave West Cornwall, that is where I would want to live. I have bookmarked that cookery book, for reasons of health and a hideous sweet tooth. I too would have scraped the cake up from the floor. Sod the five second rule; in my house it's the however long it takes rule ;) <br /><br />Leanne xxLeannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15617604296746784414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6235841642149423068.post-1576795908790164352014-03-20T13:10:22.113+00:002014-03-20T13:10:22.113+00:00That is a shame about the cake, but glad it was en...That is a shame about the cake, but glad it was enjoyed anyway.
