Is this the most important technological breakthrough of the 21st century? I suspect the answer is yes. Meet the kebab pie from Cottage Home Bakery in Gateshead. Beautifully thin and crisp pastry is loaded with hunks of lamb doner meat that are coated in fiery and sharp kebab shop chilli sauce.

When is a kebab shop not a kebab shop? When it's a Persian restaurant hiding in plain sight. New on the blog - it's Whitchurch Road's Shiraz Grill. #Cardiff gourmetgorro.blogspot.com/2025/02/shir...
