Hooked: Island vibes on Zaya Nurai Island.

Hooked: Island vibes on Zaya Nurai Island.

When I’m not reviewing food, I’m often writing — usually novels — but also about hotels (and very rarely, novels about hotels). In this instance, I was out at Zaya Nurai Island for some freelance coverage and was invited to dine at the newly opened Hooked with […]

Weekend links.

How are you? I’ve been busy catching up from the previous week and actively trying to ignore what’s going on back in the States. I’ve also made plans to head to Bangkok next month! Zoe (of Table Number 7) is going to introduce me to […]

Butcher & Still: My #1 Restaurant in Abu Dhabi.

Butcher & Still: My #1 Restaurant in Abu Dhabi.

Butcher & Still has been on my ‘to dine at’ list (the longest list ever, BTW) for the better part of four months, and I was glad to finally make the visit (sorry, Abu Dhabi, you are sometimes wildly difficult to schedule). Coming off a […]

Inka: New year, not so perfect Peruvian.

Weekend links.

I like weeks like this one. A good mix of downtime and getting things done, balanced with some fun excursions, amazing food and planning for some fun trips ahead. I love all things tiny, so I would probably love tiny food. An experience with Amazon […]

Sky High: Dinner in the Sky UAE.

While my first chance at paragliding in Nepal last year didn’t go so well (I felt incredibly sick the entire time — oops!), the feeling wasn’t enough to put me off from trying out Dinner in the Sky UAE. The concept is relatively simple: strap […]

Weekend links.

I’ve started off the year on a productive week, how about you? I’m hard at work on my media kit, managed to sort a new couch for our villa, worked on editing my novel, and have been pitching places like mad. I’m also off for […]
