I am going over to a friend’s house today with my version of homemade, spicy Indian cake – handvo.
I met Xiaolu through flickr, through her incredible food photographs. Soon I realized that she is a treasure trove of varied talents and also an excellent baker with a liking for vegan bakes too! I am sure you will find her space as irresistible as I do. May I invite you all to join us at Xialou’s for tea and handvo? You might need a napkin to stop the drool. 🙂
