Six Senses Zighy Bay, private luxury in Oman.

There are only a few properties within a few hours radius of Dubai that I haven’t visited.  Not a humble brag, more that with 12 years in the region, it’s a statement of fact.  However, there are two Oman properties which have remained on my […]

The Best Destinations For Dining Out.

The Best Destinations For Dining Out.

Another day, another collaborative post!  I love hearing from other voices and talented contributors.  Enjoy, C. For many travelers, food is always going to be a big part of travel, and it’s no surprise that the two often go hand in hand in this way. […]

Tresind Studio, an elevated fine dining experience.

Tresind Studio, an elevated fine dining experience.

Having visited the ‘old’ Tresind and recently dined at the revamped version (and having tested brunch and dinner Carnival by Tresind), I was delighted to be invited to the newly launched Tresind Studio.  Due to a hectic schedule this month, I was relatively late to the mix, and, […]

SHED Cafe at Healdsburg.

SHED Cafe at Healdsburg.

After a morning tour of the vineyard where my friend works (the biodynamic Eco Terreno, if you’re looking for something nice for your wine collection), we decided to head into town for lunch.  My host, a friend since…well, 1993?  1994? quizzed me, then settled on […]

Mohalla: Smart pricing and a creative menu in D3.

In a slightly better turn of events than my failed breakfast (and then lunch) from the day before, my meal at Mohalla started off on an excellent note.  Although my ability to correctly park at D3 has not changed (I needed the steps, so who’s […]

Urth Caffe, Angeleno options in Dubai.

Although I’m trying to be as keto (low carb) as possible, sometimes a girl’s gotta eat.  And sometimes, if I plan my schedule correctly, I can kill two birds with one stone.  Case in point, a trip to the newly opened Urth Caffe at CityWalk Dubai […]

3 of the best ideas for a celebratory meal in South Africa.

3 of the best ideas for a celebratory meal in South Africa.

I love when other authors and foodies approach me.  After all, food is a very subjective experience and the world of food is big enough that I certainly won’t be able to cover all of it.  In this instance, John Bramer came to me with […]

November 2018 To Do List.

November 2018 To Do List.

As busy as October was, I think November has the potential to be even busier, at least where Dubai is concerned.  So, without any additional procrastinating, here’s my to do list for the next month (and spoiler alert, it’s mostly unrelated to food): Be consistent […]

My Top Dishes of October 2018.

My Top Dishes of October 2018.

With plenty of international travel this month, it’s no wonder there’s a range across countries for my favorite dishes in October 2018. As always, in no particular order… Egg custard, Mingles. Scallops, Gary Danko. Pork Belly, Antebellum. Given that I’ll be in Dubai for the […]
