Dear readers


I'm back from the Middle East and feel a bit fatter.  My suitcase was filled so much food it could be considered smuggling.

Need some advice.  Does anyone know of a good Arabic or Iranian Bakery in London?  I want to make a dish that I need some special bread for.

All help appreciated.

Lots more Posts from my Gastronomic Travels coming soon...

Yours in Fatness,

xx

I hope you have your cola bottle of olive oil :)

I am making a wild guess from the photo that the dish you want the bread for is something along the lines of this. I have no suggestions for a bakery, I'm afraid, but doesn't this kind of bread go stale quite quickly, and so might it be best to make your own?

Hi Kake

Thanks for chiming in, the Olive oil survived the journey!

Actually, the photo was just something I threw onto the post, but after looking at yours the bread is very similar to the kind I'm after. I have contemplated making it, have you got a good recipe?

Thanks!

I'm afraid the only flatbread recipe I have is for pitta.

Thinking about it more, I wonder if Mohsen (the place where I got the food in that photo) would sell you a batch to take away. Perhaps best to ask when they're not busy — they're open all day, so perhaps mid-afternoon or early evening would be good.
