Social 

Last month’s Indian cookery demonstration went down a real treat. Sarah Ali Chaudhury, immaculately dressed in a beautiful sari, showed us how to cook a vegetable curry the way she would cook it at home, and then gave us all a taste of the delicious result. She chose not to charge us for this Demonstration as she is a great supporter of the Armed Services and saw fit to 'gift' the demo to us.
