If I’m having a dinner party or just want to cook an impressive meal, this mushroom and asparagus risotto recipe is one of my go-to’s. It’s easy to serve, warming and comforting. Ideal for the winter months. Although creating perfect risotto takes some time and effort, it’s definitely worth it when you get to see the delighted reactions from your […]
Our last few days in the Philippines was spent in the most perfect tree house just outside of Manila. After weeks of incredible experiences diving in Palawan, kayaking at El Nido paradise island and exploring Boracay beach, this was a very different kind of adventure. Let me explain how we ended up staying in a […]
My sister and I booked dinner at Nahm in Bangkok, after discovering it’s one of the Worlds Top 50 restaurants as well as being voted no.1 in ‘Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants’. It’s owned by the famous Australian chef David Thompson who also has a Nahm restaurant in London. We put on our best dresses, slipped our heels on and […]
I can’t believe it’s taken me this long to discover chia seed puddings. These little gel-like seeds are amazingly nutritious and so easy to prepare. You buy them as tiny, black seeds, and when soaked in liquid they absorb up to 12 times their weight! They really do help keep you full, and are packed with essential […]
I can never miss the opportunity for a trip to one of the world’s biggest markets, Chatuchak in Bangkok. It’s only open on the weekends, attracting more than 200,000 locals and tourists each day. So you can imagine that it’s a hectic, sweaty, chaotic buzz of food, stalls and people selling just about anything under the sun. […]

And all before dinner? Yes please. This pretty much sums up an afternoon tea experience at Fortnum and Mason. It’s delightfully British and pretty special. […]
My last few days in Abu Dhabi were perfectly relaxing – just what I needed. My trip there mostly involved lots of time by the pool, gym, shopping, waterpark rides, movies and the most wonderful brunch at the Emirates Palace. Ok, that probably doesn’t sound very relaxing at all. I always feel I need to make the most of […]
I’m addicted to healthy smoothies. Especially this easy banana, fig and cashew smoothie. One of the things I like about working offshore is the abundance of fruit, nuts and yoghurt onboard, all there ready for me. Pretty much all the ingredients I need for smoothie making! And thank god we have a blender. Although not […]
For my birthday celebration last week, my sister and I had 5 very luxurious days in London. We spoiled ourselves rotten, this involved a lot of fine-dining, pampering and cocktail drinking. One of the best celebration treats was afternoon tea at the The Langham Hotel. There are so many luxury 5-star hotels in London that […]
