manjula's kitchen

we have found a website in metafilter's favourites called manjula's kitchen. It's an amazing find; full of bengali recipes that we have wanted for ages!
manjula reminds daddy of his mum.
we made rasmali two days after we found the site and it tasted absolutely great, just like the stuff we used to buy.
we're about to make nan khatai. we'll give some to tilly and helen and caro and mummy. and US of course. we're tripling the recipe to get lots.
we have just made the connection; manjula (manjula's kitchen) and manjula (apu's wife from the simpsons)
