Healthy guacamole and roasted vegetable salad
Recently, I actually had to go to the U.S. for a period of 24 hours for a business meeting. This meant that in 60 consecutive hours starting on Thursday night, I was on a plane for 35 of them, and I slept in an actual bed on a Wednesday night and then the next time … Continue reading

Tapas heaven in D.C.
On my recent trip to the U.S. for the wedding of one of my favourite couples, I happily had the opportunity to reunite with some of my best friends, which of course meant delightful reunion meals.
