Passarito Mon Amour
If I am being perfectly honest, I probably visit Passarito, a Portuguese cave à vin in the 11th arrondissement, way too often. Full disclosure: it is almost a stone’s throw from my apartment. Putting the convenience aside, I have even better reasons for my frequent visits. As a serious design lover, I want to be ...

OLUFs Frisklavede Italienske Ispinde – Inventive ice lollies in Østerbro
There are two important things to know about Denmark – truths that exist seemingly in spite of one another. First, it's a country on the cool end of the weather spectrum (and if you're reading this in winter, you may think this an understatement!). Second: ice cream is a Big Deal here. Danes love ice ...

Leckerbaer Pastry Shop – A special sweet stop near Copenhagen's lakes
If a dream of a pastry shop dances around your head – the kind in which sugar and spice and everything nice is baked and shaped, whipped and whirled by hand into perfect sweet somethings – then on a quiet street running parallel to Copenhagen’s lakes, the dream is real. Leckerbaer, surely the world's most ...

A SUPER Café
According to my four-year-old daughter and her best friend, the playroom at SUPER Café is “super cool!” And as I am a big fan and a frequent visitor to the recent crop of dining spots in Paris which cater for the little ones (meaning I am a credible critic of playrooms), I'm going to have ...

VHH Foods -- an all-day eatery in Brooklyn
We returned to Brooklyn on Sunday after a week and a half away and faced sights familiar, I'm sure, to many families upon return from travel: an empty refrigerator, a mountain of luggage needing unpacking, and tired-looking faces all around. In the name of making sure everyone turned in for the night with full bellies ...

Barley Salad with Broiled Feta and Tomatoes
My sister introduced me to this delicious barley salad (found in the Kinfolk Table cookbook) last week and we loved it so much the first time she made it, we begged her to make it again a few days later. It's the perfect summer salad with the roasted tomatoes and feta adding more depth and flavour ...

Holiday Café
Holiday Café is a teeny tiny, typically Parisian café and restaurant in the 16th arrondissement of Paris. It was inaugurated by Frank Durand, the French art-director behind the reedition of the American magazine since 2014. It is one of those fashionable places you would rather think of avoiding with kids… but let me tell you: you would miss ...

Easy Meals
One of my favourite things about traveling is getting to try different foods and seeing new ways of preparing sometimes the same ingredients but with a different take. With kids however this can sometimes be trivial as they may not yet be adventurous as we'd like them to be…. So here is a list of ...

Easy Meals
I remember hearing once that you could eat at a different New York restaurant for every meal, year round, for your entire life and still never run out of new restaurants to try - such is the pace of change and turnover in the restaurant industry here, where restaurants need to attract a faithful following ...

Picnic Pies
My two girls are firmly of the opinion that nothing is quite as relaxing as having lunch from a basket, eating it on a blanket and being able to explore the environment the moment you have finished eating! I don't think anyone does picnic food quite as well as the Brits. After all, they are the ...

Chelsea Market
I really try to avoid taking my twins out to eat. It is nothing short of torture for me. Seriously….it’s like the minute they see that dilapidated cup of crayons and sad coloring placemat coming at them they start to make a scene. Chelsea Market, on the other hand, is now a destination of mine ...
