New York food recommendations

I love New York. There’s a reason it’s on all the t-shirts. Following my quick visit to some dear friends in May, I have written a quick round up of all my New York food recommendations. I planned most of our itinerary around food (of course) so some serious research went into this list. That said, I only had three...

Naples – restaurant recommendations

I’ve just come back from the most fantastic holiday to Naples in Italy. Naples is a mad mad place – totally chaotic, a little bit grimy, and very very… Italian. The food is AMAZING. Naples is where pizza was invented, and their margherita pizzas are to die for. You will not find better pizza anywhere on the planet. Traditional pizzas...
