I always bring home weird food stuffs or local food specialties. I share them with my chefs for inspiration. Like folded, dried octopus from Tunisia and dried pig bladder from Lyon.
HARBOUR ISLAND, Bahamas – It's all about superb simplicity, laid-back atmosphere, and a slight British vibe. If I’ve undersold my love, let me be clear: This would be my Death Row meal.
NEW ZEALAND – Dotted with vineyards, olive groves, and small farms selling fresh goat cheese and alpaca sweaters, Waiheke might just be heaven on earth. The robust red wines and spicy green olive oil bring to mind a mini-Tuscany — only with beaches.
BONDI BEACH, AUSTRALIA – The vibe is laid-back — surfer meets farmer Zen. The best part of my meal was an emerald soup with a fat oyster in the bowl like a crackerjack toy.
