This Recipe was given by Nat from The Pot Cafe, Cardiff

“My favourite cafe was in San Francisco and was called Dotties True Blue. They had about 10 variations on traditional cornbread, ranging from black eye bean to fresh mango cornbread. I lived around the corner from this place. Its in a pretty run down area, but the queue would start there and run a block and a half! This was their basic recipe.”
