Feast at Lele

December 1, 2015

Life in Maui (Hawaii) goes at a different pace. It constantly feels as if tomorrow is a long time. It is this amazing island where clichés coexist with amazing surprises.

Tartine Bakery

November 25, 2015

Tartine Bakery is one of the reasons why San Francisco might be the best city in the world. I wish we could have such a relaxed vibe here in London and also those morning buns. And croissants. And lemon tarts. And basically anything they sell there. You can read my review now on Plate Selector.

And she made it. Her story is really inspiring, read more on Comidas magazine.

Spending time behind the counters confirmed what I suspected: they are indeed a happy bunch. You can read the story now here
