I fell in love with the Batala Market in the heart of Dubronik. It’s a teeny marketplace selling fruit, vegetables and beautiful jarred everything. I returned to our apartment loaded with salts, truffles, honey, jams and a bounty of fresh fruit. I think walking up hundreds of stairs each day made me want to be healthy. Actually .. wait ... I ate a whole wheel of camembert.
Kamenice (Dubrovnik, Croatia)
Old Town is full of hits and misses and we had done our research to avoid the tourist traps. Kamenice serves traditional and tremendously cheap seafood.
Gundulićeva poljana 8 20000
Dubrovnik, Croatia
Prague
trdelník (Prague, Czech)
Trdelník is a traditional sweet pastry from the Czech Republic. Made from rolled dough, wrapped around a stick, then grilled and topped with sugar and walnut mix. Tasted like a flame grilled donut.
restaurant Mustek (Prague, Czech)
We were so tired by the time we actually started walking in the right direction that we didn't really find the best place to eat. We tried to ordered the traditional dishes on the menu.
Duck thigh, pork shoulder, beef goulash, variety of dumplings, white and red cabbage Roast tench (fish) with caraway seeds
Fischers Fritz ~ two Michelin stars (Berlin, Germany)
Fischers Fritz holds the accolade of two Michelin stars for the fifth consecutive year. The silver service was absolutely faultless and the degustation was beyond amazing.
Luchs (Berlin, Germany)
Restaurant Sazon (Mallorca, Spain)
This was the night of the double dinner. Early tapas feast, lots of sangria, late dinner ... I vaguely remember us all eating copious amounts of pasta. BED.
Tucana (Mallorca, Spain)
The Girls/Giggles > The Food
I really want to be brown again.

Un Dimanche A Paris (Saint Germain, Paris, France)
Hello sugar. Macaron heaven.
Harvest
Kelly had just acquired a fluffy new addition, a gorgeous little puppy called Perri. It was so hard to leave her all alone! But we still made our way to Fremantle. Harvest was such a beautiful experience. An absolutely delicious way to spend a Saturday night and $120.

Cantina 663
We celebrated Christel's 30th birthday the one way we know. With good food, good wine and many martinis. Cantina has held a place in my heart for many moons now. With nights like this when you stroll down Memory Lane it is hard not to keep going back.
Sayers Food
Bubble and squeak with spinach pesto, poached eggs, tomato and beetroot confit served with sourdough. A Sayers breakfast is always worth the wait.
West End Deli
West End Deli. No regrets. Ever.
Bivouac
Pretty sure this conversation occurs every SaturdayMe: "I am going to bikram at 2pm babe" Bf: "Sweet" ... an hour later Me: "Aaaaah stuff it ... lets eat" Bf: "SWEET!"
Bivouac's charcuterie board, gnocchi plus plus and booze ensures a perfect Saturday afternoon. I can always start bikram again on Monday ....
Mrs S
I love the Golden Circle book menus at Mrs S. Little pigs indeed.
Sex and the City 2
I hosted another Sex and the City soiree for movie number two. Rolling out the red carpet this time for 120 girls and a dangerous 240 cosmopolitans. There is something pretty magical about a girls only event. It makes everything a little more harmonious and fun. With the series playing in the background and our wonderful paparazzi capturing every moment, the girls mingled making new friends, posed (A LOT) and indulged in pink liquids. Llama Bar again provided exceptional service and gorgeous canapés.
The movie fell short of everyone's expectations. Sadly, there was nothing fabulous about this movie except for it being appropriate to wear a turban and this scene ...
