A one minute video from 'The Best Restaurant in Latin America' and '10th Best Restaurant in the World' according to @TheWorlds50Best. I eat there whenever I'm in Buenos Aires, it's one of my faves. For the steak lovers:.📽️

Today’s newsletter column is about what my brother and I reckon to be the single best thing our parents ever suggested we do as children. We both believe it's been integral in defining the adults we have become. Read it at the link in my bio 📩

Machu Picchu: would you hike + camp or get the train up? 🚶🏽‍♀️🚆. DYK that if you don't want to commit to camping and the multi-day trek, but you still want a taste of what hiking the Inca trail is like, there is also the ONE DAY hike option? . More here:.

I found this craftsmanship to be just incredible 🪡 It takes 2 months to finish one piece. 🎥 How indigenous Andean communities in Peru still handmake their stunning textiles, using ancient ancestral traditions, that haven't changed for 000s of years:.

I left Peru & arrived in Buenos Aires a few days ago. This city will be my home for the next few weeks, as it has been for the past 3 years. I've spent almost 4 months in Buenos Aires in total, it holds a special place in my heart. I will write about it at some point.

One of my fave things to do whilst travelling is to purchase artesanal crafts — I bought this gorgeous piece to hang at home. Handwoven by women from the indigenous Andean communities that surround Cusco. Symbols represent the ancient Andean calendar. I love it so much 🇵🇪

Last month I co-hosted @guildoffinefood World Cheese Awards in Portugal. It was my first of these & the logistics of the whole thing is mind bending. Almost 5000 different cheeses, from 47 countries around the world, under one roof. Here's how it works:.

'Inspiring' is overused. But when speaking of @dannymccubbin & the incredible work he's doing in Sicily, there are few other words that come to me so forcefully. When I lose heart at the state of the world, I glance over at Danny and my faith is restored. Interview at link in bio
