I did hear from the ladies (Phiroza and Delna) that Rita’s Chapat demonstration was a great hit and the proof was in the pudding… as in the Chapats for our Sunday breakfast. They went great with blueberry syrup and we all overate! I’m clamoring for it to be a Sunday repeat😉.

Rita, the “chapats” look lovely ( just like you). Will try making them soon. Wish you were here ( in NewZealand) your food would be a rave.
