Feito pelo anfitrião para o Workawayer (Bedelia)
Bedelia is a vegan, which she did not mention in her profile, and cooked us several vegan dinners. The red lentil dal with cardamom was great and I will make it again. And I really liked the way she finished some stir fried veggies with tahini which ended up glazing them in a wonderful sauce. And she left us with a jar of marmite.
