Calling on Dusseldorf, Cologne, Maastricht, Brussels and Knokke in six days, here’s FooDiva’s take on their local foodie […]

  Nicosia; Unsurprisingly, holidays for me always revolve around good food, whether that’s discovering new eateries or returning to old haunts, and perhaps the odd home-cooked meal thrown in. Incase you’re looking to escape the U.A.E for a long weekend, Cyprus is only a  3.5 hour direct flight away and as it’s FooDiva’s home island, why […]

• A Christmas safari in the Mara

  Masai Mara, Kenya; Belated Christmas wishes all! Having just returned from my safari adventure in the depths of Kenya’s Masai Mara, I was hoping to have plenty of juicy, meaty tales to tell, but alas no.

  Kathmandu; Given FooDiva’s mission was to sample cuisine from as many countries as possible in Nepal, last night I opted for Thai. I chose Yin Yang because it shared the same owner as Third Eye (the previous night’s Indian treat), and is renowned in Kathmandu as the best Thai, if not the best restaurant in town. […]

  Kathmandu; I am still reeling from last night’s fabulous Indian dinner at Third Eye restaurant in central Thamel. Well given I was craving authentic Indian dal it’s no surprise I suppose.

  Kathmandu; Well as I sit bleary eyed in the Kathmandu sun (lucky for me winter does not arrive until next month) sipping jasmine leaf tea, here’s a bit of an update. Incase you’re wondering, the red eyes are thanks to a 4.30am start all for the sake of Mount Everest. Lazy me, opted for a jetstream […]

  Alexandria, October 10th, 2010: Just a quick posting before I leave Alexandria…I have to pay credit to the Four Seasons San Stefano. Those of you that have stayed with Four Seasons hotels will know why. Apart from the exquisitely luxurious product, the service is outstanding in every possible way…every hotel chain likes to lay claim […]

• Alexandria beckons FooDiva

  Alexandria, October 9th, 2010; As you know, the purpose of my Egyptian visit was Alexandria, and I am finally here to rediscover my Greek roots, or Cypriot I should say. Perhaps I am feeling a tad homesick…or those that truly know me perhaps not. According to the Four Seasons, where I am now ensconced (in […]
