Bergamot oil in cooking / food writing piece for olive magazine
Original article on olive online here. What is it? Bergamot orange, sweet lemons, citrus bergamia… the fruit from which we get bergamot oil goes by all manner of names!

What? No cheese? Risotto confessionals
Risotto and Parmesan, Parmesan and Risotto. One melts teasingly into the other. It just works. The Bonnie and Clyde of Italian cooking, just the idea of tearing them apart leaves one weeping salty tears of dairy disappointment. But it really needn’t.

March 2017: moving home and some chestnut flour brownies / Year Abroad

October 2016 / Year Abroad
Surreal. My final few weeks in Hossegor coincide with the QuikPro 2016 competition, stage nine of the international surf tour. This is the World Cup of the surf world. Sports journalists from across the world descend on this tiny town for two weeks only. Scaffolding, TV crews, PR teams, security, hoards of fans. The tourism lull…

Surfing is now an assault course of bobbing heads, careering beginners and angry locals; while driving has become little less than a circus on wheels. I think it’s about time I…
July 2016 / Year Abroad
The one month mark seems the right time to say that life is starting to settle down, a routine is being found and homesickness is beginning to dissipate. Not quite.
