Food and travel break. I thought I’d share a picture of one of my mother in law’s dogs. This is Snookie. She is the sweetest dog, always wanting to be scratched.

I visited a salt farm in Pasuquin, Ilocos Norte in the Philippines. It’s a fascinating process. Would you visit?

This #SimonStares shows just how much I've become obsessed with bagnet, a pork belly dish from the Ilocos Norte region of the Philippines. It’s created with bay leaf, Ilocano vinegar, black pepper, garlic and patis (fish sauce). The meat is boiled then deep fried. Very addictive.

Today would’ve been my mum’s birthday. A very Welsh sort of woman. Anyone Welsh would know what that means. She didn’t take bad words from anyone. Ever. But, she was kind and full of grace. She was and always will be my spirit going forwards. Happy birthday mum. I love you.

My first time visiting the Ilocos Norte in northern Philippines. It’s the home to dishes like Pinakbet (Filipino style ratatouille typically made with eggplant, squash, okra, string beans & an anchovy paste), Bagnet (crisp pork belly), & Vigan longganisa (garlicky pork sausage).
