  • It’s been quite a while! Tho not this suggestions specifically, I did try some of the recipes here. I don’t quite remember which exact suggestions, but I’ve given my own spin on working with potatoes and lentils.

    Souteriou’s recipes specifically I did not try. However, looking back on her website now, it somehow looks a lot more delicious than I felt it did last previously. I will have to have a closer look!

    Back when I made the original post, I did not think beans were great for me! But it turns out that lentils work great in a dish with the right sauce and salad. Same for tofu, albeit not with salad but cooked veggies.

    My gf has also shown me a variety of different veggies I didn’t know. And she’s been experimenting with variations on recipes here and there. It was great, tho we sometimes cheated and did add an egg here and there. Overall, our meat consumption has decreased, even if not zero. I’m not going to tell my mom, grandma or friends no when they cook for us.



  • This did not end up working well for me. A friend who’s got family in Thailand told me he likes fermented foods. It’s just not my thing, I think.

    As for protein powder, whey is a common option here. I could not find pea .There’s options with more additions to make a full-ish meal as well. Those turned out to be surprisingly good for weight loss and building some muscle. Thank you!

    Also, I don’t quite know what whey is. But the store has vegan, and milk based options. My gf told me that in the us those options contain ground up meal worms sometimes.

    (sorry for the slow response)


  • Quite the opposite of indian food, sorry. But it did give me the idea to ask some colleagues from abroad for tips. And we ended up really liking recipes from Surinam. Bonus: those recipes were pretty easy once I got the hang of it.

    I ended up having a lot of chips like things as snacks. I forgot the name of them. Also I just realised, we have a new colleague from India! I might just try your suggestion after all, soon ish
