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.
You can see more photos I’ve posted here on Flickr
Yum, I need one of those Persian ovens!
A fresh stack of wholemeal Persian bread from the bakery is one of our pleasures here – goes with almost anything.
Mmmmm! Dragon fruit!!!! The nearby farmers’ market has those, here in South Miami (aka Homestead), Florida. YUMMMY!
PS: I agree with you – even a walk down the block with my guy is like a mini-vacation. We look forward to adventures together, but understand the need for adventures apart.
Enjoying your blog,

Fruit is just the perfect complement to a steamy afternoon. The right ones cool you down and offer a variety of texture and flavors. But as you know artists like their feasts to be colorful!

Awesome pics! Really takes you there.
The fruits in the last photo look delicious… I wonder what is the purple fruit called?
That’s a purple dragonfruit – the outside looks just the same as the white ones, but it’s much more fun to eat.
