This meal happened because of a very urgent hunger situation.

We were at Phoenix Palladium, Rishaan’s patience was rapidly disappearing, and we spotted this cheerful Italian café and walked straight in. What followed was a surprisingly lovely lunch — good food, generous portions, and genuinely thoughtful service.

The Siciliana chicken fritti was perfectly fried, the cannelloni florentine was so good that Rishaan somehow finished the entire plate, and while the risotto and pizza weren’t the stars of the meal, they were still enjoyable.

What really stood out though was the service — our server adjusted dishes to suit Rishaan’s very mild palate and even checked in to see if he liked the food. Small gestures, but they make a difference.

All in all, a solid place to stop if you’re shopping at Palladium.

This is the kind of cake that makes your whole kitchen smell like a bakery.

The rose is soft and fragrant, the pistachios add just enough nuttiness, and the whole thing feels a little fancy without actually being difficult to make. It’s one of those cakes that looks beautiful on the table but is secretly very straightforward — just a simple batter, a light rose icing, and a handful of pistachios and petals on top.

Perfect with afternoon tea, coffee, or when you want to bake something that feels special without spending the whole day in the kitchen.

Save this for your next tea-time baking day.

Breakfast was the meal I paid the most attention to while travelling. A filling start meant fewer meltdowns, less snacking and enough energy for long days of walking and exploring.

My simple formula:

✔️ Protein
✔️ Fruit
✔️ Healthy carbs
✔️ Dairy (if possible)

This is the falafel wrap that quietly ruins takeout forever.

Crispy falafel, creamy hummus, garlicky toum and smoky muhammara all tucked into warm pita — messy, indulgent and very worth the effort.

Before you panic though: you don’t actually have to make everything. Even just the falafel with hummus makes a fantastic wrap. The toum and muhammara are there for the days you feel like going all in.

Once you taste fresh falafel straight from the pan, it’s very hard to go back to the sad, dry ones that come in takeaway boxes.

Save this for your next wrap night — or the next time you’re craving something comforting but a little special.

One question I got asked a lot during our trip was: “How did you manage food while travelling for five weeks?”

The answer? We didn’t aim for perfection—we aimed for balance.

Yes, there were pancakes, cupcakes, ice cream and plenty of restaurant meals. But there were also eggs at breakfast, fresh fruit from grocery stores, wholesome lunches, protein-packed snacks and lots (and lots!) of walking.

I’ve learnt that holidays aren’t the time to stress over every bite. They’re about making memories, trying new foods and enjoying the experience together.

For us, balance isn’t about saying no to treats. It’s about making room for them alongside nourishing meals—and trusting that it all evens out. ❤️

Do you follow any food “rules” when you’re on holiday, or do you just go with the flow? 👇

This is one of those meals I make when I want something quick, healthy, and filling without thinking too much.

Lately Rishaan has been very keen to help in the kitchen, and this is the kind of recipe where he can join in without too much fear of things going wrong — mixing, layering, folding… it’s all part of the fun.

It’s naturally high-protein and low-carb, and you can easily tweak it based on what you need:
* swap wheat tortillas for lentil wraps to make it even lower carb
* replace the eggs with grated paneer for a vegetarian version
* switch up the fillings based on what’s in your fridge

Simple, flexible, and always a hit at our table.

Save this for your next “I need something healthy but fast” meal.

Recipe below.

Ingredients
2 whole-wheat tortilla wraps, or rotis
3 eggs
2tbsp whole milk
1 tbsp fresh cream (optional)
1 spring onion, greens chopped finely and whites cut into rounds
50g feta
1 avocado, sliced
2tsp garlic, minced
1tbsp olive oil
1tsp lime juice
1 tbsp + 1 tbsp butter
Salt and pepper, to taste
2-4 salad leaves (arugula, lettuce, spinach or pok choy)
2tbsp mayo, sour cream, or hummus

Directions
1. Beat the eggs together with milk, salt and pepper.
2. Heat butter in a pan. Add 1tsp garlic and scramble the egg mixture with the spring onion greens. Add the cream, if using and set aside.
3. In a bowl, mix together the sliced avocado with garlic, lime juice, olive oil, salt and pepper. Keep aside.
4. To assemble, spread the mayo (or sour cream / hummus) on the wraps. Place the salad leaves, followed by the scrambled egg mix, avocado mix, spring onion whites and feta. You can also add some hot sauce if you like.
5. Fold the wraps and cook in a pan with 1tbsp butter till crisp. Cut into halves and serve hot.

Za’atar-spiced paneer, herby rice, and whatever vegetables you have lying around — all tossed together into a bowl that’s comforting, filling, and quietly flavourful.

The sumac adds that gentle tang, the parsley keeps it fresh, and the paneer soaks up all the warm spice.
