Myeongdong Food Market, Seoul

Myeongdong Food Market, Seoul

My best travel memories are getting swept up in a bustling food market, sampling an endless selection of unfamiliar dishes. Exactly as planned, it’s what we did in South Korea 80% of the time. (We ran long distances almost every day during the 2-week trip, otherwise I would have most certainly landed back in London […]

Seafood at L’Altro Baffo, Otranto

Seafood at L’Altro Baffo, Otranto

You may have already guessed by now that my partner and I are completely food obsessed. Especially when travelling around Italy. It has to be one of the best places to travel in the world for food. Or perhaps very close behind Bangkok’s street food. Most of the dining we did in Puglia was either […]

Berry & Vanilla Overnight Oats

Berry & Vanilla Overnight Oats

I can’t believe it’s taken me this long to discover berry & vanilla overnight oats. Now, I can’t imagine eating anything else for breakfast. They are SO easy to make, SO insanely delicious and really do fill you up for hours and hours. I’m a terrible morning person, so knowing this bowl of goodness is waiting in the fridge […]

The Honest Cooks is now LIVE!

The Honest Cooks is now LIVE!

You may have already guessed by now that my partner and I are completely food-obsessed. We travel to eat, and when we’re not travelling, we love to experiment in the kitchen – constantly inspired by dishes we eat, menus we read or passionate chefs we come across. We really do believe in flavours not fads. […]

One Day in Ostuni

One Day in Ostuni

Our next stop in Puglia, after the incredible lunch at Masseria il Frantoio, was probably my favourite part of the trip: Ostuni, The White City. It’s famous for bright whitewashed walls – extra bedazzling in the Italian sun – dotted with coloured doors, green cacti and potted plants. It’s really one of the prettiest little towns I’ve ever […]

Masseria il Frantoio Lunch Experience

Masseria il Frantoio Lunch Experience

So you’ve heard about Monopoli and Polignano a Mare, where we basically spent our days hopping between restaurants and cafes (with a couple of beaches thrown in). Little did we know, the most extravagant meal we’d have would be at Masseria il Frantoio. I’ve really been looking forward to writing this food post, and sharing […]

Sunset at Polignano a Mare

Sunset at Polignano a Mare

After spending several relaxing days in Monopoli, we hopped back in our rental car and set off for the popular beach town, Polignano a Mare (only 15 minutes drive away). The atmosphere in both towns are on complete opposite ends of the Puglian scale. As soon as we arrived in Polignano a Mare, it quickly became obvious where […]

The Best of Monopoli, Puglia

The Best of Monopoli, Puglia

My latest travel adventures took me to Monopoli in Puglia, a region in Southern Italy with overwhelming beauty. Coming here is the ultimate escape from the tourist masses. The whole of Puglia is incredibly laid back, where time gratefully slows down and you can instantly feel your body relax. But to be honest, if there’s one reason to come […]

The Best Lasagne Recipe

The Best Lasagne Recipe

Whether there’s any real truth in it, they say you’re meant to ‘fuel up,’ or ‘carb load’ before a big running event. And that’s exactly what I did. The night before my last half-marathon race, I conjured up the best lasagne recipe yet. This lasagne is honestly so tasty and satisfying. It’s the perfect dish to treat yourself if you’re after […]

Lima Restaurant, London

Lima Restaurant, London

If you’re looking for a London restaurant to go to for a special occasion, then Lima restaurant in Fitzrovia could be the perfect choice. I came here with my family after reading great reviews of the creative menu. Also because Lima is the first and only Michelin starred Peruvian restaurant in London. I was eager to see what […]
