Pasties, made by leftovers, pure in taste. Greggs will be delighted.

So the Cornish Pasty has been around for many a year, made famous by the Cornish miners and their soot covered bellies.

Garammasala Flatbread

Spicy flatbreads to make your lunch a little more, erm, spicy!

In my ultimate quest for the best sandwich, I have become bored with the plain old sliced white.

Naan Bread

One of my favourite buys from the supermarket, but actually really easy to make.
