Where I am, what's cooking, and what's interesting. Written from wherever I happen to be.
May 2026Sometimes the way I like to eat is a progression — a drink under the lanterns at Hotel San Fernando, tuna on the street at Koku, then a seat at the bar at Plonk.
The last island we visited and the one that stayed with me most — flamingos behind the beach, turtles at Los Túneles, and a town that feels quiet and still not fully discovered.

Jan 2026Our daughters joined us for a night in the dunes outside Ica — dune buggies, sandboarding, and dinner under an impossibly star-filled sky.
Tables
The food we're served, and the tables we gather around.
Aug 2026Somewhere you want to linger for a drink, soak up the atmosphere and watch the room come alive.
Aug 2026I love food that brings different cultures together in unexpected ways.

Jun 2026We turned up on a rainy night with no reservation and no expectations, and they walked us to the chef's table. That night we happened to get the best seat in the house.
Stills
Photographs. One a day, sometimes more, sometimes less. What catches my eye.

So many places in the world that captivate, each with its own allure. Sharing the remarkable that I find.
