from Dinner on Mars
I asked author Evan Fraser for his favourite recipe and he tells us, “All my fav recipes are old (e.g. from family cookbooks that go back a few generations). Salad, cell-sashimi and an algae shake is what we’ll eat on Mars! Not really recipe fodder – but if you want a nod to the old I think you’ll like our family cottage pudding recipe courtesy of my grandmother.”
