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!

Yep - another fat & smiley sea bream courtesy @bournesfish out of the oven last night, this time slathered in ginger, garlic & onion - inside & out. Cosying up are Padron peppers, sliced leek & lemon all awash in white wine.
Jersey Royals of course on the side

Last night’s supper (part of) = Zaalouk, a recipe from my second cookbook (UK- Medina Kitchen, in US - The North African Kitchen). Doesn’t present brilliantly but it tastes fantastic- a silky mix of steamed aubergine, tomato, garlic, cumin & masses of coriander.
Proof that Moroccan cuisine doesn’t end with tagine or couscous...

At last - a lockdown birth! The cygnets have arrived after about 6 weeks of incubation - 4 or 5 little grey things just visible under the swan’s flank. Big crowd of fans watching, it’s been so-o-o long
