Nice one! Heads up to Mrs Ledzeptt - they are making gingerbread houses this week on GBBO I made ginger cookies at the weekend, but they were a bit rubbish.

For the Bank Holiday, I treated Mrs LedZepTT (a name she'll hate as she's more a Mrs Jedward regrettably) to afternoon tea at Greens - Simon Rimmer's vegetarian restaurant.

Very tasty, but difficult to carb count/bolus!

Do you make your own veg pakora? If so, what do you coat it with?

Afraid not. I had no energy for cooking tonight hence the pakoras from the freezer. They were from Iceland's Indian party platter. They are around 4 carbs each.
