My Best Three Meals in 2017.
So, last year, I shared my top three dishes of 2016, and throughout this year, I’ve been sharing my favorite monthly plates. This year, I think I want to expand and mention my top three meals instead. As I reflected on the many dining experiences I’ve had throughout 2017, there are plenty of excellent contenders. However, after a lot of deliberation, these are the meals that stuck with me the most. In no particular order: Test Kitchen, Cape Town, South Africa. I cannot think of a better way to usher out my 35th year than our meal here. Should you find yourself in Cape Town, do whatever you can to get a booking at this fabulous venue. It’s precisely how unpretentious fine dining should be done. And please splurge to opt for the iconic wine pairing, you will not be disappointed.

My Top Dishes of June 2017.
There was a lot of food this month, encompassing many chefs and kitchens, so, I had to really think hard about what I enjoyed the most in Australia — what I would travel long distances for and what I will remember when I think back about our vacation, and what I would recommend people to enjoy when they visit. Buckwheat spaghettini, Automata Steam pork buns, Rice Paper Scissors Yellow Fin Tuna Tartare, Sage While local Zahira put up a good fight, I feel the above list stands. Looking ahead to July, my sister is visiting Dubai in two weeks and there’s lots of places I want to explore while she’s in town. We’ve also got plans to go to Amsterdam, so I know there will be plenty of great food ahead. Did you have a favorite meal or dish in June?
