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!

Yesterday from Waterloo Bridge - looking east along the curve towards the City, with St Pauls hanging in there among the high-rises, then slide to not quite Waterloo sunset, looking west. What a grand old river

Another gasp from the past - this time from southe

Another gasp from the past - this time from southern Morocco where wild landscapes & roadside kitchens seduce. Numerous glorious trips over the years led to my cookbook, Medina Kitchen, which I have just dived back into - full of wonderful authentic recipes, mostly quite easy. Watch out - Maghrebi posts coming soon! And these pics from my last trip (feb 2017)remind me how much I love the whiff of lamb, the smoke, mint tea, tagines stewed for hours & of course winning smiles
