Sinkeh Guesthouse | A bold 19th century shophouse conversion | Airbnb Review 

Step back, we have a winner! This is officially my favourite place I’ve stayed in this trip, possibly ever, including the much pricer, more luxurious boutique hotels I’ve treated myself to. It’s called Sinkeh, is… View Full Post

AriyasomVilla Bangkok | A beautiful and relaxing 1940s Villa | Boutique Hotel Review

Whenever I’m shown my room at a hotel I classify as a “treat night”, I always try to act nonchalant. I arrange my face into one that says “oh, I stay in these places all… View Full Post

Hello, and welcome to my tiny corner of this big ol’ internet!

I’m Fiona, and I used to be a food-obsessed literary agent living in London. Now? I’m not so sure.

After six years of giving it a very good go, I finally realised that my hunger wasn't the sort that could be satiated with Hawksmoor short-rib French dips.

So I left. In February 2015 I packed a couple of bags and headed off to Asia. Solo, indefinitely and with the hope that new faces, landscapes and adventures would satisfy me in an entirely different way.

And it kind of worked.

I now live in Bali (for the moment). No longer a Londoner but still, as ever, hungry.

Where am I?

Current Location: Bali

  • First onions of the year...
  • Always the first ones in.
  • A glut of tomatoes. Yesterday I learnt that 95% of vegetables are essentially air. The other 5% comes from the soil, and is the part that gives them their nutrients and flavour. Good soil equals good tasting veg. A lot of vegetables destined for supermarkets, especially salad, are now grown basically on top of water - which is why they don't taste of anything!
  • These berries are probably poisonous but they are very pretty.
  • The pond.
  • Our first green beans! And look at the size of those courgettes... I learnt yesterday that you should only pick the male courgette flowers as the females are the ones that make the vegetable.
  • Hiking back up to the farm after an afternoon swimming in the reservoir.
  • Our chickens (and ducks) are very productive at the moment!
  • Last night's sunset.
  • Today's harvest. Includes our first red chilli 🌶 , four green peppers, the largest courgette I've picked yet, some yellow tomatoes and some beautiful purple aubergines. All from plants I helped plant 4 months ago.
