One of the upsides of visiting Prague when it's -12°C and snowing is that Czech food is perfect for winter. It's comforting and hearty, potato dumplings and rich beef goulash, Sunday roasts and sweet yeast buns. You can get pretty much any food you want in Prague, there are lots… Read more of "What to eat in Prague"

We spent the first two months of the year in Prague. It was long enough to get into a proper routine and three times a week we'd head out early and spend the morning working in one of the coffee shops near our apartment. Our area, Vinhorady, turned out to be full of coffee shops… Read more of "Five great coffee shops in Vinhorady, Prague"

I'm not going to tell you how long we spent in Vienna because this list of cakes is much bigger than it ought to be for such a short stay. Vienna has a long and delicious history of making sweets. There are bakeries and coffee houses all over the city, and they're especially… Read more of "Five Viennese cakes"

I had no idea what Bosnian food was like before we decided to visit this autumn. It had never even crossed my mind. But after our first meal (cevapi in a cafe in Sarajevo), I couldn't stop raving about it – why aren't there more Bosnian restaurants everywhere? There's an obvious… Read more of "What to eat in Bosnia and Herzegovina"

You don't hear much about Slovenian food. Or at least I hadn't before we got there. But with influences from Italy, Hungary and Austria, it's a varied and interesting cuisine. Here are a few dishes we enjoyed during our month in the country: Burek Let's start with one of my faves… Read more of "What to eat in Slovenia"

I think Mexican food might be my favourite. And I'm writing this in Italy so you know I'm serious. We spent 6 months in Mexico. From our first meal (where our waiter laughed at us as he bought out bowl after bowl of tortilla chips because we ate so much guacamole) to our last… Read more of "What to eat in Mexico"

When we lived in London, every Saturday we'd stroll around the farmers' market at the end of our road. Coffees in hand, chatting and browsing (but never actually buying, London is expensive peeps). So it was lovely to pick up this little tradition again here in Mexico at the… Read more of "Sayulita farmers' market"

Breakfast is big in Mexico. We're talking eggs, baskets of handmade corn tortillas, shredded chicken or beef, refried beans, lots of salsa. Before we arrived, my knowledge of Mexican breakfasts started and ended with huevos rancheros, but there are so many more and they usually… Read more of "A guide to Mexican eggs"

One of the things I've enjoyed about spending longer in one country – we've been in Mexico for 4 months now, our longest stint yet! – is getting a better understanding of the culture. We're starting to pick up on things that we might not have noticed on a shorter trip. My… Read more of "¡Buen provecho!"

One of the things we loved about Oaxaca was the coffee shops (here are some of the others!). Oaxaca produces some of the best coffee in Mexico and there are lots of great places to enjoy it around the city, from cosy hole-in-the-walls to bright, colourful outdoor spaces. Here are… Read more of "Five great coffee shops in Oaxaca, Mexico"

Speak to pretty much anyone about Cuba and you'll hear the same thing – the food is terrible. Food is one of our favourite ways to experience other cultures, and we love discovering local dishes, learning about the different ways people use ingredients and trying new flavours… Read more of "What to eat in Cuba"

From local tapas joints to contemporary dining and fish restaurants by the sea, Valencia has a lot to offer foodies. It's a city where the quality of ingredients is important and the seafood, in particular, is excellent. If you're heading to Valencia for the first time, here are… Read more of "What to eat in Valencia"

Emilia-Romagna is widely considered to have the best food in Italy. Now, I'm not saying that's the only reason we decided to spend a month there, but it may have been a factor. The area is home to a lot of Italian favourites, like parmesan cheese, stuffed pastas and tagliatelle… Read more of "What to eat in Emilia-Romagna, Italy"

It's kind of hard not to become obsessed with food in Italy, and at Modena's daily market that obsession will reach new heights. With many of the stalls still run by the same families since the market opened in the 1930s, it's obvious how much care and pride the owners take in… Read more of "Mercato Albinelli: Modena's foodie market"

We came to Naples for the pizza. Naples is more gritty than pretty, there's washing hanging out of every home and graffiti all over the streets. Walking down the cobbled alleyways, you'll see families sitting outside chatting loudly and people gathered to watch football matches… Read more of "The best pizza in Naples"

So, it turns out that Berlin is full of really great food markets. From street food trucks to traditional German market halls and the best breakfasts, we spent a lot of our time in Berlin wandering and browsing and eating. There are so many markets all over the city, but these… Read more of "Five great Berlin food markets"

Vegetarians, I'm sorry but Portuguese food isn't really for you. Lisbon's restaurants are all about the meat and fish. Fresh sardines on outdoor grills, juicy steaks in soft Madeira bread for lunch, octopus salad to start, chouriço sausages hanging in kitchens (plus the… Read more of "What to eat in Lisbon (and where to find it)"

If you follow me on Instagram, you'll know that we ate a lot of pasteis de nata in Lisbon (some would say too many). These custard tarts are a staple in Portugal and you'll find them everywhere. When they're good, the pastry is crispy and flaky, and filled with a smooth, creamy… Read more of "The best pasteis de nata in Lisbon"
