While some of the most interesting people I know are eating their way around the world, I’ve never given food much airtime here. Yet one of the most immediate pleasures – and pains – of travel are the many foods we encounter along the way.

Here’s a selection of my favorite food photos from the past few years:

From soft durian and coconut icecream in Laos

to a bucket full of sea urchin spines in Korea

or the starfish from a medicine shop at a Cambodian market

There are many ways to stay healthy.

From the Persian bakery near our flat in Sydney

to sticky rice in the jungle in Laos,

Each offers a new experience.

Frogs in Luang Prabang,

the coffee flowers of northern Thailand,

and lunch on my studio rooftop in Bangkok

are the freshest ingredients you’ll find anywhere.
