Travel & food, first person

Stories from wherever the next meal takes me, hahaa!

I travel for work and stay for the food. This is where I keep the places, plates, and people worth remembering — one honest post at a time.

Three days eating my way through Lisbon's tascas

I ordered the thing the man at the next table was eating. Twelve times. No regrets, one small stain.

What a night market in Singapore taught me about patience

Forty minutes in a queue, and the uncle still told me I'd ordered wrong. He was right.

A weekend in the Swiss Alps, powered entirely by cheese

We walked eleven kilometres uphill purely to justify a second round of raclette. Worth it.

I've never been to Tbilisi, but Georgian food found me anyway

A basement dining room in London, a bread boat full of cheese, and a toast I didn't understand.

Attempting a Georgian supra at home: a report from the kitchen

Eight dishes, four hours, one smoke alarm. My walnut sauce has notes to improve on.

Cuisines I love — from places I've been, and places I haven't. Yet.

Some of these plates I ate on their home ground. Others I chased down in a basement two streets from my flat, or built badly in my own kitchen. All of them count.

About me

I'm Aneta. My job sends me places; my appetite decides what I do when I get there. I've eaten standing up in more countries than I've properly slept in, and I take notes on napkins.

I write about the four-dollar breakfast, the queue that was worth it, and the dish I fell for in a city I've never visited. No rankings, no sponsored tasting menus — just honest reports from wherever I happen to be, including my own kitchen.

Got a place I should eat at, or a recipe I'm getting wrong? Tell me.

I read everything, and reply to most of it — usually from a train.
