Welcome to the Vanda's Kitchen blog — your home for genuinely useful information about food, nutrition, health, and what it means to eat well in London.
What You'll Find Here
We write about nutrition with the same values we bring to our food: honestly, with real information rather than wellness marketing, and with respect for the genuine complexity of how diet affects health. You'll find evidence-based articles about specific nutrients, dietary conditions, and health topics — written to give you information you can actually use, not headlines designed to generate anxiety or sell supplements.
You'll also find articles about London itself — where to eat, how to navigate the City's food landscape, the best markets and independent producers, and how to eat well in one of the world's most expensive cities without spending a fortune.
Who We Are
Vanda's Kitchen is an independent London food business based near St Paul's Cathedral. Our shop serves City workers and visitors daily. Our corporate catering reaches offices across London. We're stocked in Selfridges Food Hall. Our kitchen is completely nut-free and fully halal certified, with extensive gluten-free and dairy-free provision throughout our menu — inclusion is built into how we operate, not added on top.
The values behind this blog are the same values behind our food: genuine quality, honest information, real ingredients, and the belief that eating well and eating inclusively are not in conflict with each other. Welcome, and we hope you find something useful.
