In Australlia I can buy Cassava in a Phillipino (Phillipines) Grocery store, So can I suggest you TRY an ASIAN store or store that sells Phillipine {as in Manilla] groceries. TRUST ME-famous last words- I had a Cassava cake (when I went to an end of term computer course party & we all brought food in from our International origins) IT WAS SO GOOD I nearly ate it all myself
Does anyone know where I can buy cassava in the uk or online for delivery? Thanks
Gary THIS is an amaizing recipe
