Fear my slow-cooking powers! Making Kleftiko using Felicity Cloake’s recipe in the Graun: www.theguardian.com/food/2025/au... - I’ll let you know how it looks in five or so hours

As someone from a former British colony, this is really good to see: a slow-burning rage bursts into flame inside me every time I hear the words "We Stood Alone"
