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!

Last night’s version of remojon - I forgot the black olives 🙃 but added a cushion of warm freekeh - love this crunchy grain which combined deliciously with velvety fresh cod, the juicy spark of orange, red onion (more crunch), chopped hard boiled egg & hit of raw garlic 😋.
Based on a recipe from @bodegasmezquita in my book Andaluz

Phenomenal triptych film installation @lisson_gall

Phenomenal triptych film installation @lisson_gallery by John Akomfrah: Four Nocturnes (2019) is a patchwork of powerful videos referencing climate change, desertification, migration, animal destruction (elephants), colonial memory, history, the beauty of our planet & much more.
An electrifying 50 minutes - a must see, runs till June 5. Need to book

A rather different scene of olive groves - this time in Palestine under vicious attack from extremist Israeli settlers. Last night fires raged in the olive groves & in village houses (Burin & Madama) - the scene this morning must be devastating. I know these villages & local farmers & am heartbroken for them.
It is far from the first time & still the world does nothing

Since writing the above I’ve heard that a 15-year old Palestinian was shot by the Israeli army - he has now died. Senseless & tragic

Slaloming through the olive groves between Algarinejo & Priego de Cordoba - source of award winning EVOO. Swipe to see Orodeal’s chirpy little bottle full of the liquid gold from these hills perfect to slather my lunchtime salad

Incredibly diverse spring blooms in the wild garden of Hatfield House - the entire spectrum from early to late: camellias, daffodils, prunus, forsythia, azalea & rhododendron - + bluebells. A riot of colour! Magic

This afternoon was all about insects. First a fantastic crunchy cricket stir fry straight from an ingenious bug kit by @bugrecipes. Dried crickets, ginger, spices & teriyaki transformed.
Slide to see bug crackers by @eatsmallgiants - using cricket flour with different flavourings. Great crunch, high in protein, zero fat, sustainable - packaging too. Win win for the planet (gift)

Flashback time! 1976 - yes, gulp - on the road between an Afghan tea-room (me with scarf but bare shoulders tsk tsk) & choosing Iranian smokes in Tehran, still under the Shah.
