Eating my favourite meal wraps me up in a warm blanket of emotional comfort, especially during the cold European winters.
As Claudia and I have just arrived in the Swiss Alps with plans to go to Brazil in October, I’ve been thinking of my favourite recipes to take with us and wonder whether they’d taste quite the same in different parts of the world.
When you make new friends on your travels and are invited for dinner or to a party a friendly gesture, which is always appreciated, is to bring a dish of some kind. I find it helps to break the ice.

Whilst you can tick all the necessary travel safety boxes and still be unlucky enough to get mugged or assaulted there are certain things you can do to reduce that risk significantly… Read the rest of this entry
