About me

Fiona Dunlop is a seasoned travel and food-writer who has been ‘abroad’ for much of her life. She doesn’t count countries but aims to dig deep beneath the surface of the places she visits. Food has increasingly become her focus, without forgetting art, architecture and design. Andalucia (Spain) is her second home, but French her second language!

A beautiful & moving Spanish exhibition opened last night, Unconditionally, I Love You, all about families, memories, the past & present, conveyed through new and old photos beside poetic lines inscribed on the wall. It made me think of my own family & its convoluted web. Curated by @amolinavazquez. Words by @silvia_terron, photos @jorge_monedero, On till December 18 - easily beats Xmas shopping

Here’s a preview of @britishmuseum ‘s latest blockbuster, Troy: myth and reality, opening Nov 21 till March 8.
Racing through the centuries (in fact 3,000 years), it explores different reflections of the legend of Helen, Hector, Achilles and the 10-year war... Disparate exhibits include this mammoth food jar, about 4000 years old, the wounded Achilles (note the heel!) in marble by Albacini, and an exquisite fragment of Pompeii fresco showing Helen embarking on a ship for Troy.
Full of wonderful interpretations but too many pots?!

A chilli hot pile of battered king prawns - perfect post-theatre fare @com_viet. My usual 🌶 sneezes followed. The play, Touching the Void, started brilliantly but....
