Travel, for me, is always tasted first. It’s the paper-thin pizza that lingers long after a trip to Italy, the peaches bought from a farm shop in Gloucestershire, the way a market in Palma can change how I cook back home. This is my travel diary – part guide, part memory, part flavour map. From city breaks to countryside escapes, you’ll find the places I’ve wandered, the plates that have inspired me, and the little details that made each journey unforgettable.
