Yum! Excited again to be having rumaniyya (Gaza aubergine and lentil stew) #vegan #kitchendiary #gaza #levantine

Turns out that most of our pans are not induction-compatible. So I'm looking for tips! #fedihelp Do you know of good induction-ready (&dishwashable) pans / griddles / cookware, that you'd recommend? #induction #cooking #pan

To be published later this month 💃💃💃

Coming downstairs and being met with the smell of fried onions and cinnamon and cumin because of Mujaddara I made as #mealprep for the week. #Momentaufnahme #ViciCooks

Frustrating news, but it accords with what I've seen: "Dutch vegan restaurants struggle as broader dining sector adopts plant-based options" https://nltimes.nl/2025/06/07/dutch-vegan-restaurants-struggle-broader-dining-sector-adopts-plant-based-options #vegetarian #vegan #horeca

In other news, just made Kaju Katli (cashew fudge), simple but effective - I need to make this every day now

This was a great flavour combination pasta dish: beluga lentils, sun-dried tomatoes, black olives (plus a touch of onion and green pepper). #kitchendiary #vegetarian

I find this book endlessly helpful and fascinating in the kitchen. Fabulous at reducing food waste yet keeping your food interesting and creative. I mean, who would have known about cherry stems and stones? Also, there is a rhubarb fermented bubbly drink that I will try in Spring.

@vicgrinberg I approve of eating it all. And thank you for performing the control study to check the chemistry claim!

It's rhubarb season. Rhubarb is IMPORTANT. So here's wow to make stewed rhubarb - the right way! http://mcld.co.uk/blog/2025/how-to-make-stewed-rhubarb-the-right-way.html #recipe #rhubarb #dessert

I made a map of all my vegetarian food reviews in Europe. Mmmmmm so much tasty... #vegetarian

@vicgrinberg
Boil lentils in a pan for 25 mins. Meanwhile:

Grind seeds in a pestle & mortar.

In a pan with oil, fry the garlic & ginger and VERY soon add the aubergine too. Stir around, then add the crushed seeds, let them toast, stir again. Add the turmeric, tomato puree, salt, & enough hot water to cover. (Chilli if you wish.) Let these bubble for 10 mins.

Drain the lentils and add. Cook together for 5 mins, until not-too-wet, then sprinkle with garam, & serve.
(e.g. with rice & pickle)

@vicgrinberg :D OK! From memory:

1 aubergine (in "fat finger" pieces)
1 clove garlic (chopped)
100g green lentils (rinsed)
2cm root ginger (chopped)
2 tsp coriander seed
2 tsp mustard seed
1 tsp cumin seed
1 tsp turmeric
2 tsp tomato puree
1 pinch salt
1 tsp garam masala

Aubergine & green lentil curry - this was a great decision on a rainy day! Spiced with crushed coriander+cumin+mustard seeds, turmeric, garlic, ginger, and a touch of tomato puree. #kitchendiary #vegetarian #vegan

Dutch tea is often centred on flavoured teas. That's not usually my bag ;) but one excellent tea here is "Leidse Liefde" ("Leiden Love") - a perfectly balanced black tea with flower petals and a touch of vanilla. https://www.hetklaverblad.com/nl/products/blue-lady #tea #nom #netherlands

Finally an alcohol-free beer I can shout about, here in Finland. How often is it you say "I wish I'd bought more of that alkofrei beer"?!? Suomenlinna's "Ton IPA" is a lovely clear IPA with a hint of peach in the scent, and a fresh foamy mouthfeel. It has a thin body, but we could that its style. It's great! #alcoholfree #nolo

@vicgrinberg Ooh, where do you find rhubarb that's worth strange questions at security?

TODAY you should be filling your ears with live #dawnchorus from the Soundcamp "Reveil" - streamed live from dozens of listening stations all around the world. Follow the dawn: https://soundtent.org/reveil/ #nowplaying #birdsong

@LifeTimeCooking From my British experience, "dhal" seems to be basically the standard way to write it in the UK. Is it problematic?
