For me, going to bed early means I inevitably wake up around 3am unable to get back to sleep - even if I’ve had a few hours sleep and am exhausted. I think I’m naturally a night owl.

Sister made a delicious egg and chickpea curry:)

Bay Area friends, Dina Begum Dina Begum will be at Omnivore Books in San Francisco on Tuesday 21 May to tell stories from a home kitchen. I've been making very tasty mum-approved meals from her fabulous book on Bangladeshi cooking. I hope to see you there!

One thing you need to be prepared for when you get published is to become your own one person PR team. Writing the book is the easy part!

I think there needs to be a group for industry gripes for writers.

My friend Ozlem’s book is out! #sebze Ozlem Warren
