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!

What joy to be back @perilladining after so-o-o long. As usual, a faultless dinner starting with beef tomato, curd, black olives, cherries & strawberries & mint (a wow), a scooped leek & potato rarebit then a shared grilled sea bream with salsa verde, tomatoes, onion ... Finished off with nectarine + herb sorbet. Quite a delicious innings washed down with vinho verde 🍸 - great stuff

Words fail me - & difficult to select from the pic

Words fail me - & difficult to select from the pics I took today at this inspirational 18th c garden by Wiliam Kent in the wilds of Oxfordshire. Thanks to @brucepalling for alerting me to this wonderland - do read his post. Veggie garden, walled garden, espalier fruit trees, dovecote wrapped in cherries, ponds, follies, the meandering River Cherwell, an arcaded terrace & so much more... & cheers to no shop, no tearoom, & only discreet signage - all privately & invisibly owned
