Check Out My Food Journey

First time making naengmyeon (๋ƒ‰๋ฉด)! ๐Ÿ‡ฐ๐Ÿ‡ท
Very different from what Iโ€™m used to, but I love to learn more about Asian cuisine. This is a cold noodle soup (sometimes even served with ice), so it is quite unusual if youโ€™ve never tried it. I tried to customize it a bit with what I had on hand, but I can definitely do better. Overall a nice first try and one more step towards Asian food mastery ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿป

Two tablescapes from my days in Barcelona ๐Ÿงก Spain once again steals my heart ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡ธ 

Lots of tapas (of course), pan con jamรณn y tomate and a new obsession: horchata!๐Ÿฅ› Similar to almond milk, but made with tiger nuts or rice in other regions of the world, this drink is super refreshing and perfect for summer. Bonus points if you drop a ball of chocolate ice cream into it ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿป

A firm believer that visiting the town market is as important as visiting museums! No better way to immerse yourself in the culinary culture of a place and see the ingredients firsthand. I go home with a renewed love for Greek cuisine, a bag full of herbs and spices and lots of recipes to recreate ๐Ÿ’™

highlights of my trip to marrakech ๐Ÿ‡ฒ๐Ÿ‡ฆ 

- tajine and cous cous, tasty and simple dishes, but not exempt from flavor. I loved the preserved lemon and chicken and the lamb and dried prune tajine!
- moroccan sweets, a confirmation of my love for almond paste, a discovery of orange blossom water ๐ŸŠ 
- so many cute corners, where light filters through colored fabric, embroidered rugs and the roof of the souk 
- lots of cats around ๐Ÿˆ we had a chance to explore an authentic moroccan tannery (luckily for you, ig still doesnโ€™t have the smell function)
- beautiful palaces where time stands still ๐Ÿ’›
- riding a quad in a palm desert? hell yah๐ŸŒด

such a vibrant and lively city, canโ€™t wait to go back to morocco and explore some more!
