I do travel for a good pizza. Mainly, I travel to Napoli. Every time I go home, it is tradition that once picked up from the airport, regardless of the time of night, I am taken to a pizzeria for a welcome dinner. Here in London, I do not go for pizza as often as I’d like – there have been some decent pizzerias in town where I have enjoyed fairly authentic fare in the past; these are mostly within…
Supper clubs… About time I tried one, right? Yes, in fact it happened that within 10 days I got to eat at Sabrina’s Kitchen twice for two of her differently themed pop up dinners. I met Sabrina on Twitter and she seemed super nice – she is just as nice in person, bubbly, open and honest about her food (I wish all chefs were like this) and full of energy.

I am fascinated by the land and the sea, the underwater world, the people, the language and of course, the food. Last month I was in Flores and Alor for a couple of weeks, enjoying diving in some fairly remote and pristine reefs. We were staying on a liveaboard (the Mandarin Siren, above), which is a blissful way of diving and relaxing. And…
