Exploring new foods! Tonight’s post-event dinner was “misal pav,” spicy vegetarian curry eaten with hot buttered bread rolls. It’s a very traditional dish here in the Pune region. For dessert I had kulfi, which is like a dense ice cream. Everything was so good! I’m stuffed.

Finally the tourist part begins! Tonight we headed to Shinjuku for a ramen 🍜 (“Is that bowl lined with meat?! OH HELLS YEAH.”) before heading out to Musashi-Koyama for a traditional onsen experience, getting naked and sitting in hot mineral spring baths. 🛁 😳

Ottolenghi’s Boulangère lamb with potatoes, onions, and fennel. Because it’s not enough that the Snook cooks me wonderful food— every now and then I have to say, “Hey, I saw a tasty looking recipe in the Guardian the other day…” 😂❤️
