Revising for International Tea Day this Thursday - there's a lot to read https://www.fao.org/international-tea-day/en/ #tea

Morocco's street food gave me a lot to discover! Many of the very popular carts were selling a sandwich stuffed with cream cheese, garnishes, and either chickpeas (pictured) or "kalinti" which is made of chickpea-flour and is basically a "vegan omelette" in taste/texture. Stuffed in a bread roll these were super-popular! #morocco #streetfood #vegetarian #nom

Was in Madrid this weekend. Had a lovely coffee cocktail at Cafelito: the "campesino" (Colombian inspired) with honey, cinnamon stick, and panela (a citrus fruit). #nom #coffee #madrid

Pickled cauliflower, butterbean purée, charred lettuce, and za'atar flatbread - #nom! I wouldn't have understood this at all a few years ago, but these flavours are fabulous. Inspired by Bubala restaurant I guess. #vegetarian #kitchendiary

We made rumaniyya again - this delicious sour aubergine & lentil stew from Gaza. Thank you! @nomnomdan@hostux.social #nom #vegan #gaza #kitchendiary

Visited Moychay tea house in #Amsterdam. Very nice place. My #tea was an "experimental" semi-fermented gaba red tea from Georgia... I know, lots of words. It was v tasty and calming. #nom

Bank holiday baking: Italian cantucci biscuits :) #nom #kitchendiary #italian #baking

Algerian harira - a smooth, spiced Mediterranean soup #vegetarian #kitchendiary

RE: @vicgrinberg@mastodon.social

I don't understand this at all, but I will endorse it anyway:

Kuku sabzi - love this Iranian omelette with such delicate flavours of herbs, walnut, cranberry and sumac! #nom #vegetarian #kitchendiary

Kodo millet congee - this pure-tasting millet porridge is a great background on which to paint sharp flavours. Spring onions, garlic, curry leaf, chilli. #kitchendiary #millet #vegan

Drank some lovely herbal teas from Iran with a colleague today. A black tea flavoured with fragrant orange(?) blossom. And new to me is this "mallow" flower which brews to a radioactive blue colour. #tea #iran #mallow

Some nice dishes we cooked recently: aubergine lemon tagine, BBQ jackfruit, moussaka, baked halloumi with black seed honey glaze, African peanut stew (maafe), shepherd's pie, butterbean gratin, kuku sabzi, mushroom cobbler, jacket potato! #vegetarian #kitchendiary #happymemories

Drinking a lovely keemun #tea (from Klaverblad in Leiden). It's a black tea but delicate. And yet, not too thin. It strikes me that many times, when I fancied a Darjeeling, a tea like this one is what I fancied...

BBQ-style jackfruit and cashews, with coleslaw and flatbreads. #nom #vegetarian #kitchendiary
