The Recipe Attempt !

On 12/04/03, Gazza and Sue tried to make some Nargis.  We followed the recipe above, even adding some (natural) food colouring!  Unfortunately, the Nargis was nowhere near as good as could be bought 5 minutes away in the Pasha, so it may need rethinking.  Anyhow, here are some photos of the event.
