About

Screen Shot 2021-06-14 at 6.52.42 PM.png — I've been fascinated by travel for as long as I can remember. I adore exploring faraway places and learning about other cultures through history, architecture and most of all food.

The tastes and smells of food evoke memories of beloved places and spaces. Missing travel the past year has challenged me to explore through food; revisiting memories of travels past and stepping into flavours of the as yet to be explored places I dream to visit when we can move freely around the world once again.
Journey with me as I explore highlights from places once visited, recreate delicious memories, and find new adventures to dive into as I strive to satisfy my wanderlust
I am a hybrid Brit/Canuck, gluten-free cook, and relentlessly curious about food.

Koshari - or rather, my gluten free attempt.

The national dish of Egypt, this carb loaded, vegan meal is delicious, a little tangy and spicy, and an absolute delight.

Rice, pasta and lentils, along with chickpeas in a spicy tomato sauce, topped w

The dressing has tahini, lemon juice and maple syrup, which is perfectly balanced with a genero
