Barcelona: gaba oolong y gyozas vegans :) #nom #tea #barcelona
A row of gyozas with a dip, and a cute little tea set. The tea in the cup doesn't look special but trust me

Dutch meat consumption continues to decline and decline :) This is measured by Wageniingen researchers. https://www.wakkerdier.nl/nieuws/nieuw-onderzoek-wur-nederlanders-eten-minder-vlees/ #netherlands #vegetarian #sustainability
Graph: Average meat consumption per person, in kg. Since 2005 it was roughly constant, then from 2018 through 2025 a steady fall from ~38 to now ~34

If you allow me to sray at your place while travelling, there is a good chance I'll make you a meal of blini-pancakes.

This particular batch was somewhat special: soy milk and buckwheat flour instead of cow milk and wheat flour.

Two black teas grown in France! Tasting notes of "Kerizel" and "Mendiko" http://mcld.co.uk/blog/2026/two-black-teas-grown-in-france-kerizel-and-mendiko.html #tea
Two slim brown packets, with the aforementioned names on them. They're standing on my countertop next to my mug which is poised and ready to go

New market stall in Leiden is Japanese MOSHI! It's a sweet blob of snack, handmade and cute. You can have choco, pistachio, and more - but the connoisseurs skip all that and go direct to the RED BEAN mochi! Lovely sweet umami thing. #nom #leiden #mochi
My hand holds up a kawaii little potje with a mysterious orb inside. Or not so mysterious? Written on the top is KOSHI

The whole of Leiden is a festival today. In case you're wondering, the best food in the fest is this jacket potato stall! Heeeeerlijk. #3okt #nom

Broccoli roasted with almond and cardamom (from Meera Sodha again). Pretty nice, rich, went down well. I'd probably make it a bit tarter next time, and cardamommier! #vegetarian #kitchendiary #meerasodha
Broccoli, seen here against a backdrop of dal and roti, all homemade

Mango, paneer and tamarind salad - #nom! Lovely fresh combination from Fresh India (Meera Sodha), with fresh coriander, mint, lime and chilli for the zhuzh. #kitchendiary #vegetarian #meerasodha #freshindia

Giant pancake with apple rings (also bacon and cheese but not clearly visible) and a blob of butter.

Learnt last night that our beloved vegetarian convenience food brands - Vivera and Vegetarische Slager (Vegetarian Butcher) are actually owned by a huge and unpleasant meat megacorp called JBS. What to make of this? Pffffff. #vegetarian #Vivera #JBS #vegetarischeslager #vegetarianbutcher

I drank this "dark nectar oolong" experimental tea from moychay. (It's tieguanyin matured like liubao.) A 5* online review says "it's an amazing experience. Earthy potato skin, beetroot..." - and, well, I agree with the second half: it tastes like potato skins... #tea

#kitchendiary: Meera Sodha’s "kacang pool" (Malaysian bean stew) is nice & hearty. But despite it being "a levantine dish via Malaysia" it is suspiciously similar to a midweek improv! https://www.theguardian.com/food/2026/sep/05/vegetarian-kacang-pool-recipe-malaysian-bean-stew-meera-sodha

London's "Drummond Street" was beloved for its Indian food. It's a shame that this "intangible heritage" was touched with an axe (the HS2 construction work). Still, as half of what it was, it's still there! You can get a dosa in an unfussy restaurant that's […]

Dosa! i.e. huge crispy Indian pancake. Try it!

Mrouzia - a decadent Moroccan tagine http://mcld.co.uk/blog/2026/mrouzia-a-decadent-moroccan-tagine.html #vegetarian #vegan #recipe #nom #moroccan
This is a photo of the delicious stew I had in Tangier - decadent with prunes, almonds, rose petals, sesame seeds. I'm not saying my version is as good as this but it's not a bad attempt...

The #1 thing about cooking - and it's amazing, - is the everyday improv genius that hits you in the face: "oops I bought this french bread when we already have bread at home and this leftover bit of tofu and ... WAIT A SECOND THIS IS BANH-MI! WE'RE HAVING BANH-MI TONIGHT OMG!" I really feel bad […]

Enjoying a "steadfast" cola at the local falafel place (X-Falafel)
My bright red can is cola from "Somod Gaza" and it has a piece gesture on it combined with a Palestinian flag

Black bean and nectarine tacos! Oh my #nom. From "The Doctor's Kitchen": luscious fruity but smoky (griddled) nectarines and sweetcorn, with black beans and chilli. A must have. #vegan #vegetarian #kitchendiary
Oh and try to get corn tortilla not wheat, it's better. You see one here folded around the aforementioned, your eye drawn to the nectarine slices with their intense black lines from the griddle

Fabulous tart this: Witlof tarte tatin! http://mcld.co.uk/recipes/#witlof-tarte-tatin-with-date-syrup-balsamic-vinegar-and-thyme #recipe Here served with labneh and zaatar, a great cross-continental pairing: the fresh tartness of the labneh vs the sticky sweet bitter tart #nom #vegetarian

In the latest Eat This Newsletter, I share a bad case of pessimism. Or is it realism? But there are also lotus eaters, a history of biryani, and a love letter to Italy's August traditions.

I should add, the lack of traffic on the roads and free availability […]

Tea grown in the Netherlands! It's real! We visited yesterday, "Het Zuyderblad" near Eindhoven
A whole field of lush green tea plants! The farmer herself shows us how the tea is plucked, holding out some young leaves and buds from the top. Her dog also wanted to help show us around

This dish was crazy. And - an absolute showstopper. Worth going to Zoetermeer even if only to have "fish and crisp" at the vegan restaurant "Ministerie van Geluk"! Beer-battered fried watermelon(!) with mango, tomato, and more. Unbelievable #nom #vegan

Ravioli filled with "vegan foie gras". Is this... satire? It's tasty anyway
You won't actually spot it, hidden behind garnish and bright pink pickled radishes, in a vivid sky blue bowl! But the ravioli is in there somewhere
