The fish recipe from Mariupol made me happy and sad. I had planned a tour of the South East of Ukraine just six months before the Moscow fascists invaded, such a lovely looking city... I'll make this at the weekend and drink a glass of wine to yourself and my friends in Ukraine. Support for Ukraine across the UK, across political lines, is still very strong.
