Treks
A curated collection of my most inspiring gastro treks
Penang, Malaysia
Smoky, seared meats
Traditional night markets teaming with flame-licked skewered meats light up the dark. Revise, update and invigorate your BBQ menu with an array of Malaysian spices, flavors and bold grilling styles.
Amman, Jordan
Young at heart
A new generation of Jordanian chefs have breathed life back into Levantine cuisine. With a strong focus on seasonal, organic ingredients and new takes on such time honored dishes as kibbeh and manakish, Amman's restaurant scene is ablaze with creative comfort fare.
Maldives
Simple, Elegant Seafood
Locals jealously guard the aquatic harvests of this island nation. Conjure the jaw-dropping-beautiful oceanic vistas using simple, wholesome ingredients and the very freshest fish available. Add an exotic twist to your repertoire with savory masroshi snacks and coconut-laced Maldivian curries.
Budapest, Hungary
Hearty stews to feed a herd
Hunks of lamb and garden fresh vegetables slowly simmered in a rich paprika-spiked sauce. Tired of the same old catering menus? Kick it up a notch with age-old Hungarian staples imbibed with a modern, Western-leaning twist.
Kerala, India
Sacred tastes and traditions
Give your guests a culinary sojourn as spiritually satisfying as a trip through the India sub-continent. Awake new taste buds with carefully composed spice rubs of coriander, cardamon, anise, white pepper and cinnamon.
Point Reyes, California
Micro-climate small plates
San Francisco and its environs are a mosaic of micro-climates which imbue their bounty with subtle differences in taste and texture. Creating a tasting menu as unique and diverse as the briny harvests from this region will impress your most discerning patrons.
Muscat, Oman
An oasis of hospitality and flavor
Al Heif...the first cup of coffee to be poured by the Bedouin host to let the guest feel safe. Take a page from this centuries old tradition, still alive and well in all seven emirates, and serve up carefully crafted cups of delicately spiced java.
