I think the only times I bake now are when colleagues guilt trip me into it. Anxiety reigned and so we’re swimming in salted caramel basque cheesecake from Ruby Bhogal’s excellent cookbook. Actually excited to bake it again tomorrow as the test run was so easy!

Sometimes the simplest combination is the best: what’s better than a comforting pie and mash!

Our local farmer’s market has wonderful produce so we’re making a wild mushroom, leek and purslane pie with mash (using a ricer) 😋 how do you like your pie? #pie #vegetarian #farmersmarket #cooking

Indian food can be quite misunderstood. It isn’t a monolith despite what Western culture has reduced it to. India’s huge; culture and cuisine varies greatly state to state.

Tonight was reminiscent of Mughal era cuisine: Meera Sodha’s baked butter paneer and maharani rice. So delicious! #indianfood

It’s not hyperbole to say that American science is being destroyed before our eyes.

Have you tried Georgian food? It’s addictive 😳 while everyone loves the iconic Acharuli khachapuri (the bread boat filled with melted cheese, topped with egg yolk and butter), I find Imeruli khachapuri deserves love too!
We visit Kartuli in Dulwich- best we’ve had in London. Highly recommend 10/10.

One of the real problems is that too many people conveniently believe the opposite of diversity is merit, and the opposite of inclusion is high standards.

Yeah, that’s just not the case.

Mentoring for the first time today was incredible. I felt a real sense of achievement and hope for these people willing to seek out knowledge to develop themselves. It also made me realise unless learning opportunities are democratised, those who need it most are the ones who have least access.(1/2)

Having sworn off all social media except IG a few years back due to the trending toxicity, it’s nice to see a community that appears to value discussion over dissection. Let’s hope it stays that way!
