BV interview

Once again I am famous!  😉

Bon Viveur got in touch with me a few weeks ago and asked if I wanted to do an interview for their online magazine and I told them I would be happy to as long as they corrected any grammatical errors before publishing it. Ha. Have to say that being asked to do stuff like this as an “expert in my field” by Spanish publications always makes me feel, I dunno, like I have actually arrived. That I’ve been accepted. It means a lot to me. Anyhow, it’s now been published and here it is…

The last time my friend Sylvie was in town we talked about her coming back to do an article about the evolution of tapas in Sevilla. For awhile it looked like it wasn’t going to happen, then suddenly it was all systems go and before long we were meeting at her hotel for what would become a fun and delicious three-day Tapeo Extremo.

As you can imagine, I was very excited to be a part of this project, but was sworn to secrecy about it until the article was published – which was yesterday! Aside from obviously being pleased at having my tapas tours mentioned in the Washington Post (!!), I was also very excited to see friends and colleagues that I admire getting some well-deserved international attention. You can read the article here…

VERY happy with this nice mention in the September edition of the Sunday Times Travel Magazine’s special Foodie Spain & Portugal issue. It’s out now (print only) in case you’d like to pick up a copy too. Lots of great tips on where to eat well on the Iberian peninsula. Thanks ST!

abc article

A couple of weeks ago I was interviewed by ABC Sevilla for an article about my tapas tours and my role as “tapas ambassador” in Sevilla. The article actually came out in print last Saturday but I only saw a copy of it yesterday (I had been on the lookout for an online version, which should be published soon).

I was very happy to be chosen for this article because the thing I am most proud of, in terms of my work here the past few years, is having become an acknowledged (by locals!) food and wine expert in the city, and also for having helped so many visitors better appreciate Spanish (and specifically Andalusian) cuisine. I have some irons in the fire this year to not only continue with my mission but also to expand on it. Watch this space!  🙂
