  16. Today I am visiting friends who have recently moved into a hew home. Following the tradition of „Brot und Salz, Gott erhalt’s“, I've attempted to bake a filled tear-and-share bread (inspired by the recipe above). The photo shows how I would like to present it to them with a truffle-infused salt in the middle. In practice, it's an hour cycling trip to get there so we shall see what it looks like on arrival...

    For the bakers out there: I did the first proof overnight in the fridge which seemed to work really well, but I did not fill them until this morning before the second proof. Thanks everyone for your tips! Also, my fillings are based on what I had in stock: gouda cheese and chill, walnut, feta cheese with herbes de Provence, plus some plain ones with just sesame on top. I guess I probably overproved everything, but hopefully they'll still taste good. Also, I always think that egg wash is a waste of egg and I absolutely hate it when the crust has a sightliest taste of burnt omelette, but here it probably would have improved the finish.

  22. Marjorie's
    Starters: £3-£7.5; Smaller Plates: £13-£15; Larger Plates: £17-£29; Wines from £46

    A wine bar tucked around the corner of Carnaby Street. The restaurant is narrow, and although they have a few tables for small groups, many of the tables are larger and are seating multiple parties. It was a bit of a surprise when we got seated downstairs at a large round table, with space for 8 people. When we arrived, 6 other diners (all couples) were enjoying their meals.

    Because it is a wine bar, the wines are on the expensive side. We picked a lovely claret for just under £50 to go with our meal.

    To start we ordered some bread, and brown butter, and a saucisson with some cournichons, and a slice of the squash tart. The tart looked almost like a slice of pizza, but had nice sweet squash flavoured layers interspersed with cream and cheese, on a slightly crunchy base.

    For my main, I picked the Mackerel, with pumpkin, pickles, and herbs. The combination was a little on the sour side for me, but the fish was well cooked and prepared. My wife chose the Bavette steak which was served with an egg york emulsion — a similar idea to the egg yolk that often sits atop a steak tartare. It was well seasoned, but slightly under for the medium that she'd ordered.

    Curiously, we did have to ask for the bread and saucisson a few times, and these only arrived after our mains were served. This was disappointing, but overall the meal, and the ambience were both lovely. There was definitely more legroom than at the Barbary.

  24. Navigating a restaurant menu can feel overwhelming—especially when you’re balancing taste preferences, dietary goals, and nutritional concerns. With the explosion of AI food tech in recent years, a new era of “smart menu” experiences is emerging. AI menu analysis isn’t just about digitizing paper menus; it’s fundamentally transforming how diners discover, understand, and choose their meals. From estimating hidden calories to surfacing dishes tailored to your preferences, these innovations are reshaping both dining out and online ordering.

    The Challenge: Decoding Restaurant Nutrition


    Most diners want to make informed choices, but restaurant nutrition information is often buried, incomplete, or absent altogether. Even when calorie counts are available, they rarely account for personal needs—like allergies, macros, or dietary restrictions. Manually scanning for options that fit your criteria can be tedious and error-prone, especially at busy or unfamiliar restaurants.

    This is where AI menu analysis comes in. By leveraging machine learning, natural language processing, and computer vision, AI-powered systems can extract, interpret, and enhance menu data at scale. The result: more transparent, personalized, and actionable restaurant nutrition insights for both diners and operators.

    How AI Menu Analysis Works

    1. Menu Digitization and Parsing


    The first step is converting static menus into machine-readable data. AI models (often using OCR—Optical Character Recognition) can scan printed or photographed menus and extract structured information. Natural language processing (NLP) is then applied to parse dish names, descriptions, and even detect ingredient lists.

    // Example: Simple menu item extraction using regex and NLP concepts
    const menuText = `
    Grilled Salmon Salad - Fresh greens, grilled salmon, avocado, and vinaigrette. 450 kcal
    Classic Burger - Beef patty, cheddar, lettuce, tomato, brioche bun. 800 kcal
    `;

    const dishRegex = /(.*?)\s*-\s*(.*?)\.\s*(\d+)\s*kcal/gi;
    const menuItems = [];
    let match;

    while ((match = dishRegex.exec(menuText)) !== null) {
    menuItems.push({
    name: match[1].trim(),
    description: match[2].trim(),
    calories: parseInt(match[3], 10)
    });
    }

    console.log(menuItems);

    Real-world systems go much further, handling inconsistent formatting, synonyms, and multilingual content.

    2. Nutritional Value Estimation


    Many menus lack detailed nutrition facts. AI can bridge these gaps by analyzing dish descriptions and predicting nutrition profiles. This typically involves:

    • Ingredient recognition: Identifying possible ingredients based on dish names and descriptions.
    • Recipe inference: Estimating likely preparation methods and quantities.
    • Database matching: Mapping extracted ingredients to known nutrient databases (like USDA or Open Food Facts).

    Machine learning models trained on vast recipe and nutrition datasets can predict calories, macros, and even allergen presence with surprising accuracy.

    // Pseudo-code: Predicting calories for a dish using AI
    async function estimateDishCalories(dishDescription: string): Promise<number> {
    // This would call an AI model or API trained on recipe/nutrition data
    const estimated = await callCaloriePredictionModel(dishDescription);
    return estimated.calories;
    }

    3. Personalization and Smart Recommendations


    AI menu analysis unlocks highly personalized experiences:

    • Dietary filtering: Instantly flagging dishes that fit vegan, gluten-free, or keto diets.
    • Allergen detection: Highlighting items that may contain peanuts, shellfish, or other triggers.
    • Preference learning: Recommending dishes based on past orders, ratings, or explicit preferences.
    • Health scoring: Ranking menu items by metrics like calorie density, sodium content, or “healthiness” for the user.

    Some apps leverage collaborative filtering (like Netflix or Spotify) to surface dishes that similar users have enjoyed. Others use reinforcement learning to improve suggestions over time.

    // Example: Filtering menu items for a vegetarian user
    const vegetarianKeywords = ['vegetable', 'cheese', 'tofu', 'salad', 'beans'];
    function isVegetarian(dish: { description: string }) {
    const desc = dish.description.toLowerCase();
    return vegetarianKeywords.some(keyword => desc.includes(keyword));
    }

    const vegetarianOptions = menuItems.filter(isVegetarian);
    console.log(vegetarianOptions);

    4. Enhanced Menu Interfaces


    Modern “smart menu” platforms use AI to power interactive interfaces, both on-premise (via tablets or QR codes) and online. Features include:

    • Dynamic search: Type “high-protein, under 500 calories” and see instant matches.
    • Visualizations: See nutrition breakdowns, allergen alerts, or compare dishes side-by-side.
    • Voice assistants: Ask for “spicy vegan options” and get spoken recommendations.

    This not only improves accessibility for all diners, but also helps restaurants stand out in a crowded market.

    AI Food Tech in Action


    A growing ecosystem of AI food tech products is making these features widely available:

    • Restaurant apps and POS systems: Many now integrate AI-driven nutrition and filtering.
    • Third-party platforms: Apps like Yummly, OpenMenu, and LeanDine offer AI-powered menu analysis, personalized recommendations, and nutrition transparency across thousands of restaurants.
    • Custom deployments: Some restaurant groups build proprietary AI models tailored to their cuisine and customer base.

    On the backend, open-source libraries (such as spaCy for NLP, or TensorFlow for custom ML models) enable developers to integrate AI menu analysis into their own applications.

    Challenges and Considerations


    While the potential is tremendous, deploying AI menu analysis at scale isn’t trivial:

    • Data quality: Menus are notoriously inconsistent—misspellings, colloquial names, and “secret sauce” ingredients can trip up even the best models.
    • Cultural and regional variation: Dishes with the same name can differ wildly in composition.
    • Privacy and consent: Personalization requires collecting user preferences and sometimes health data, raising important privacy questions.
    • Model transparency: Explaining how calorie or allergen predictions are made is essential for trust and regulatory compliance.

    Addressing these challenges requires careful engineering, ongoing model retraining, and clear communication to both restaurants and diners.

    Building a Simple AI-Driven Smart Menu (Example)


    Suppose you want to provide a “smart menu” experience in your own restaurant web app. At a high level, you’d:

    1. Digitize the menu (via OCR, manual entry, or import).
    2. Parse dish descriptions and structure the data.
    3. Augment with nutrition estimates using an AI API or open database.
    4. Add filtering and ranking based on user dietary preferences.
    5. Display results in a user-friendly, interactive UI.

    Here’s a simplified TypeScript-style sketch:

    type MenuItem = {
    name: string;
    description: string;
    calories?: number;
    isVegan?: boolean;
    };

    function filterMenu(
    items: MenuItem[],
    { maxCalories, veganOnly }: { maxCalories?: number; veganOnly?: boolean }
    ): MenuItem[] {
    return items.filter(item => {
    if (maxCalories !== undefined && (item.calories ?? Infinity) > maxCalories) {
    return false;
    }
    if (veganOnly && !item.isVegan) {
    return false;
    }
    return true;
    });
    }

    // Example usage:
    const smartMenu = filterMenu(menuItems, { maxCalories: 500, veganOnly: true });

    You could further extend this with AI-powered search, nutritional scoring, or even integration with fitness tracking apps.

    The Road Ahead


    The fusion of AI menu analysis and restaurant nutrition transparency is just beginning. As machine learning models improve and data becomes richer, expect even more granular, actionable insights—like real-time portion customization, automatic pairing suggestions, or even “health nudges” based on your goals.

    For both diners and restaurants, smart menus powered by AI food tech are making eating out (and ordering in) a more informed, inclusive, and enjoyable experience.

    Key Takeaways


    • AI menu analysis transforms static restaurant menus into dynamic, personalized, and nutrition-aware experiences.
    • Restaurant nutrition information is becoming more transparent and actionable through machine learning and NLP.
    • Smart menu systems enable dietary filtering, allergen detection, and personalized recommendations at scale.
    • A host of AI food tech solutions—from open-source libraries to commercial platforms—make integration possible for developers and restaurants of all sizes.
    • Challenges remain around data quality, privacy, and transparency, but the future of AI-powered dining is bright—and getting smarter with every meal.
