Minimise plastic in the kitchen

I wanted to share a post about plastic in the kitchen as I’m currently working on minimising plastic in all parts of my house. Recently I was standing in a big supermarket and came to the realisation that nearly everything was packaged in plastic. It’s crazy to think how reliant we have become on this cheap form of packaging. It’s almost impossible to go plastic free when so many items that we need and use in every day life is wrapped in it..so I began researching my options and I thought maybe I can encourage a few others to also reduce plastic in their daily lives. Reducing all plastic is not something we can fix over night…but I’m optimistic just some small changes and tweaks around my own home and maybe the homes of other people can help our plastic problem.

Transcarpathia, Ukraine

Our journey began at the Kiev train station in Ukraine. We were catching an overnight sleeper train all the way down to Mukachevo, a city in Transcarpathia. Feasting on an overnight train is crucial to anyone travelling in any country through Eastern Europe. It’s one of the best experiences and we started this trip with a feast like no other.

Our Moroccan Honeymoon

Our Moroccan honeymoon adventure began in Marrakech. The colours, the intense heat, and the sounds of the medina were very much around us as soon as our taxi dropped us off from the airport. To get to our hotel we had to walk past shops, traditional bakeries, tiny alleyways and through a very small door to find our little riad.

Rome

First destination, Rome.

We arrived early in the morning. Eager, excited, I couldn’t wait to show my mum Rome. There are 2 European cities that I am in love with…Seville & Rome. Like most people, I find spending a few days soaking up Italian life is good for the soul. Enjoying plenty of wine, pasta, pizza around cobblestone streets with ridiculously incredible looking walls, is my idea of perfectly spent days. I will take any opportunity to do that.

We’ve just come back from summer in Europe and this place – Monte Argentario, was one of the last stops of our trip. It’s everything you dream of about an Italian summer.

Exploring the food of Spain: Jamon

We set out on this journey through Spain to visit one of a kind producers and Jamon was number one on my list. Jamon is found in every corner in Spain and I wanted to find out how this cured meat and delicacy is created. So we organised to visit Cinco Jotas…the producers, masters and creators of jamon from Acorn Fed 100% Iberico Ham.
