Easy Homemade Focaccia Recipe

Making your own bread is fun and very satisfying. Focaccia is one of my favourite types of bread, as it’s really tasty and very easy to make.

Ingredients:

* 6 oz (175g) Strong white flour
* 1 tsp salt
* 4 g easy-blend yeast
* 2.5 tsp dried rosemary
* 100 ml hand-hot water
* 2.5 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil

Review: Zen Garden, London.

Zen Garden is an exclusively vegetarian Chinese and Thai buffet restaurant in Leather Lane, central London. It’s a restaurant that depends largely upon the custom of people working nearby, and hence it’s only open Monday-Friday and is closed at weekends.

Ben discovered this place when he was working in the area. He and his colleagues had eaten there a few times before they realised that the food was exclusively vegetarian! Before that, they just thought that the meat tasted a little funny!
