Mimi Aye: Mandalay

<p>This week, Gilly is transported to Burma and the deeply exotic hills of the&nbsp;land of rubies through the childhood memories and family stories&nbsp;in MiMi Aye's beautiful book, <em>Mandalay.</em></p><br><p>This season is sponsored by <a href="https://www.odysea.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Odysea</a> whose range of Mediterranean foods are just what we need to get through a COVID winter. This week, we learn about Odysea's Extra Virgin Olive Oil, produced&nbsp;from polyphenol rich olives from groves in Messinia in the Kalamata&nbsp;region,&nbsp;where the olives are still harvested by hand. The oil is cold extracted within&nbsp;hours of the olives being picked to ensure the&nbsp;flavour and health benefits&nbsp;remain. Served with food, the pepperiness and the slightest almond skin bitterness&nbsp;is a delicious and vital&nbsp;part of your healthy diet.</p><br /><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> See <a style='color:grey;' target='_blank' rel='noopener noreferrer' href='https://acast.com/privacy'>acast.com/privacy</a> for privacy and opt-out information.</p>
