“There is no sincerer love than the love of food”
– George Bernard Shaw
For me, a large part of exploring a culture means immersing myself in the cuisine. There are so many stories that can be told from a dish or a single item of food. Each flavour can take you on new journeys through history and time.
I love how certain smells and tastes remind me of a place. How various spices and herbs can be just as closely related to the identity of a destination as any famous landmark or attraction.
Join me as I munch, crunch, sip and slurp my way through countries, cities and towns. My aim eventually is to share some of the tasty recipes I discover abroad. No, I don’t have any grand ambitions of writing a cook book, I just want to cook from the comfort of my home, and maybe you might want to do the same…
Together, let’s discover the world’s most exciting culinary destinations. Discover the multi-ethnic flavours of Peranakan cuisine in Melaka, the strange food oddities of Iceland and what a traditional cooking class in India will teach you.
