Dubrovnik, Primosten and Venice with Seabourn Odyssey

January 8, 2017 by Fiona Maclean 21 Comments

Dubrovnik, Primosten and Venice with Seabourn Odyssey

The Last Few Days on Seabourn Odyssey – The End of the Cruise: The last time I arrived in Dubrovnik was on the occasion of my first ever cruise.  Then, way back in 1972, the City was part of Yugoslavia. It was also well ahead of the release of films like Game of Thrones and, […]

Colourful Croatia – Trogir, Dalmatia

July 22, 2013 by Fiona Maclean 17 Comments

Colourful Croatia – Trogir, Dalmatia

Lore, Legend and History in Trogir, Dalmatia: I’d been told that the historic island towns of Croatia were stunningly beautiful.  And I was looking forward to visiting Trogir, Dalmatia, joined to mainland Croatia by two foot bridges.  It’s a UNESCO heritage site and curiously has acted as a location ‘double’ for both Venice and Provence […]

Colourful Croatia – Salt and Lace in Pag, Dalmatia

July 16, 2013 by Fiona Maclean 17 Comments

Colourful Croatia – Salt and Lace in Pag, Dalmatia

White Gold – Salt and the Story of Pag, Croatia: The approach to Pag is over a seemingly nondescript looking concrete bridge (but of course a landmark, built in 1968 which has huge importance for the  economy of the island); for a moment, perhaps subconsciously influenced by the young driver who’d told me it wasn’t […]

Colourful Croatia – Plitvice Lakes – Nature in Action

July 13, 2013 by Fiona Maclean 13 Comments

Colourful Croatia – Plitvice Lakes – Nature in Action

Plitvice Lakes – Walking Boots and Karma Lack of time to do any real research and an innate desire to reach the coast of Croatia on my recent trip were the key reasons for asking to visit the Plitvice Lakes.  Having started my journey in Slavonia I needed a landmark midway between Osijek and Split.  […]

Colourful Croatia – Wines of Slavonia

July 9, 2013 by Fiona Maclean 7 Comments

Colourful Croatia – Wines of Slavonia

Slavonia #Croatia – Ancient Vines and Fabulous Wine: Visiting Croatia a few weeks ago  just before they became part of the European Union, I met with both curiosity and hesitant anticipation.  Hardly suprising from a Country which gained independence through a bloody home war less than twenty years ago.  While many I chatted with were […]

Colourful Croatia – The Baranja

June 30, 2013 by Fiona Maclean 7 Comments

Colourful Croatia – The Baranja

Food and Wine in the Baranja: The Baranja is an agricultural area on the far East of Croatia, bordering Serbia and Hungary.  The region produces a wide range of crops including apples, cherries, walnuts and hazelnuts. And of course, where there are hills  there are vineyards.  The first vineyards in the Baranja were planted by […]

Colourful Croatia – Around Osijek

June 25, 2013 by Fiona Maclean 8 Comments

Colourful Croatia – Around Osijek

An introduction to Osijek : In my experience trips of this sort always end up running late and I half anticipated arriving late in Osijek.  It only takes a delayed flight or a little over enthusiasm at one of the venues for things to start to slip.  And, since the bad weather meant we were […]

Colourful Croatia – Slavonski Brod Fis and More

June 20, 2013 by Fiona Maclean 8 Comments

Colourful Croatia – Slavonski Brod Fis and More

Fiš – a funny kind of soup – and more at Slavonski Brod: A friend of mine who came to the UK from the former Yugoslavia used to tell me that the smell of  a paprika stew cooking was one of the strongest reminders of his childhood.  We did our best to recreate a paprikaš with chicken, […]

Colourful Croatia

Colourful Croatia

Colourful Croatia – thank-you and taste of things to come: So, I am now a confirmed lunatic.  After my visit to Portugal a few weeks ago and then Abruzzo to speak at Blog-Away, I thought I’d have a week or so to catch up on sleep, work and generally settle back down again before I […]

Taste of Christmas and Chestnut Gnocchi!

December 13, 2012 by Fiona Maclean 1 Comment

Taste of Christmas and Chestnut Gnocchi!

Taste of Christmas – Excel London It was a bit of a lightening trip around Taste Christmas this year for me – but heavily incentivated by the chance to take part in the Electrolux Theatre event and learn some secrets from the chefs…in my case Aiden Byrne.  More of what I learnt there in a minute. […]

  • April 12th  - National Grilled Cheese Sandwich Day

    The USA celebrates National Grilled Cheese Sandwich Day on April 12th.   Well, why not?   Regarded as one of the top comfort foods in America, the version we eat today originated in the 1920s when sliced bread and American cheese became easily available.  

    image

    Of course, those of you from the USA and those of you wishing to join the celebrations can do so in London!  Head for the glamorous art-deco inspired Colony Grill at the Beaumont Hotel and you’ll find the menu offers a Grilled Cheese sandwich with Dill Pickle, perfect for National Grilled Cheese Sandwich Day.  While you are there, enjoy a cocktail or three - and perhaps a couple of other American classics - we love the Buttermilk Fried Chicken and perhaps Bananas Foster flambeed in dark rum for dessert. 

    Enjoy!
