We received an Instagram message a few weeks ago from a HOME visitor, Aimee, who was missing the HOME-cooked goodies we usually serve in our cafe and restaurant. She was spending her birthday in lockdown and asked if we could possibly send her the recipe for our vegan buns so she could make them at home.
Thanks to Kev and Andy from the Cafe Bar we got her the recipe and wanted to share it with you too!
