What I hadn’t … Continue reading Crossing the Atlantic – Seafood in the Azores

A night above the city at El Cocinero, Havana.

Cuba: first impressions
I honestly believe that no amount of research and pictures on the internet can truly prepare you for Cuba. You can expect the old cars, the crumbling buildings, the colours of everything, but there’s something magical about this place, a hot fire in your belly that blazes with passion and curiosity whenever you wake from your slumber.

What cooking out of a van for 9 months taught me
I’ve always been taught that you should write about what you know. And if there’s anything I know after a 9 month road trip, it’s how to cook out of a van (or ambulance in my case). I would be lying if I said that food was never on my mind when we started to plan the road trip; to be fair I would be … Continue reading What cooking out of a van for 9 months taught me
