I don’t know about you, but for me a cookbook isn’t a real cookbook without a picture of each recipe.

The downside of this is that sometimes I get confronted with that horrible...
Last day of Pinot Noir 2010. I’m feeling tired – you have to remember that this is not an academic symposium. It’s largely about eating, drinking, meeting people, having fun and generally partying. I was out last night with a small group of winemakers and journalists for a fun party hosted in someone’s home. We drank some beautiful...

I’m a little surprised how much I’ve been loving the challenge of feeding myself for $2 a day . It’s been refreshing to look at the world in a different way. It’s also been great hearing from people, especially their tips for saving money on food. And after a wonderful long weekend eating and drinking my way around Melbourne,...
Last month, when I was getting ready for my trip, I had a big couple of days cooking and taking photographs of things so I wouldn’t be pressured to be blogging on the road.
