If you watched my Stories (or Highlights) from Saturday, you would have seen how much fun me and Andrea (@the_traditional_plate) had cooking in her Yiayia and Pappou’s clay oven. There’s something quite special cooking in a traditional Cypriot clay oven; we don’t have one yet but are thinking of building one this year, so watch this space. I tried to replicate the patates we made in my regular oven last night and I have to admit, they were pretty damn good. Melt in your mouth, highly addictive and easier to make then you think! Give them a go this weekend and tag me on Instagram if you do, I LOVE seeing your takes on my recipes!
