Raisa Gorbachev (Wife of Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev) once told a British minister there were more than 300 ways to cook potatoes in the USSR. When he had doubts, she sent him a cookbook and a note: "My apologies for being somewhat inaccurate: in fact, there are five hundred, rather than three hundred, recipes to cook potatoes."  (source)

My latest illustration shows the iconic Totterdown Thali Café with its bust of Raisa Gorbachev (a hang-over from its time as Glasnost Bistro). I wanted to add a fun pattern to emulate the colourful Thali décor.
