massive diversity in culture, cuisine,
language, geography, and culture,
is truly mind blowing. Education is
about a tool for life and travel is about
sharpening that tool. It’s invaluable in
my view.
Any tips for students cooking on a
tight budget?
My suggestion would be to research
when and where your local market is.
They have little overheads meaning
they can keep the cost of produce low,
and the quality of ingredient is always

add hot vegetable or chicken stock
with salt and pepper. Cook away on
the hob until the lentils are soft and
form a soup.
In another pan, chop up an onion
and fry with a teaspoon of ground
coriander, wait until the onion is nice
and golden and caramelised, add a
little salt. Spoon the lentil soup into
a bowl, then add your fried onion
on top with a big dollop of harissa.
Delicious!
What would you recommend as a

of carbohydrate and protein. All you
do is take a quarter of a pack of red
lentils, grate 2 carrots into them, a
teaspoon of ground cumin and then
