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!  🙂

awards
So that’s the awards season over (right? or have I missed some?). I don’t know about you but I feel increasingly out of it when I either watch or read about these awards shows these days. Especially MTV – have no idea who most of those people are, other than the ones receiving lifetime acheivement awards. And although I’ve got used to not knowing what half the films up for awards are about on Oscar night I was shocked this time to realise I didn’t even recognise a lot of the actors on the red carpet. I can’t blame all of this on living in Spain and mostly seeing tv series and films after they come out on DVD. I suspect it has some connection to the fact that so many world leaders are now younger than me – what do you think?
