I may just have to re-create that with some gluten-free toast and almond milk tea. My favourite breakfast as a child was two slices of toasted white bread, slathered in glass cheese and then dunked into a piping hot mug of tea with milk (otherwise known as shaay we laban or chai haleeb).

Moving on to what has been one of the most highly requested recipes in recent times, following some debuts on Snapchat a while ago home-made vegan cashew cheese. Your support and journeys inspire me to keep charging ahead with my own. I don’t think I can quite express just how touching some of your messages and comments were. I had no idea it would have such a marked effect on so many of you, and while I don’t derive any joy from knowing others have been through similar struggles, it is comforting to know that I am not a lone soldier in the war against ourselves, as one reader so eloquently put it.
