If you can get started a couple of hours early, homemade pizza is an easy, delicious meal option and so much cheaper than takeaway. It’s also healthier and allows you to be creative with toppings. With entertaining in mind, we decided to go a bit zoosh today and create a decadent pizza that can be assembled quickly and easily when company comes around. We smeared crème fraîche on our whole-wheat pizza base (recipe below) and topped with sheets of smoked salmon, red onion and capers. The whole-wheat gives a nuttiness to the pizza, and veering away from the classic tomato/mozzarella…

Thessaloniki is a very modern and vibrant city, spoilt only by the graffiti all over the city centre. After driving up to some of the highest points of the city to look out over the sea, we enjoyed our first lunch in Greece: a gyro (meat…

We broke the trip in Izmir, as our photographer grew up there and wanted to spend some time in the city again. Such a cosmopolitan place! I was amazed! We sipped on coffee, overlooking the beautiful shore. And we were in…

Not strictly a tequila sunrise, but close enough. Although oranges are a winter fruit, we couldn’t resist making a tequila-based summer drink, and we all adore the tang of Campari.

We left the hotel at 4:45am to go to the hot air balloon company’s base, where we had a great breakfast (some people feel light headed due to the high altitude during the rides, so they encourage all passengers to have a hearty breakfast). Shortly before 6am, our bus took us to our ‘lift off’ point. Such a bizarre sight – 106 hot air balloons being inflated…
