And despite our punctual arrival, the place was already swarming with tourists from across the globe. If you ever go to Ephesus, get there very early! Besides having to weave your way through thronging masses of people, there is also very little shade and it was sweltering! Seeing all the ancient buildings was definitely worth it though – from the Celsus…

Born in Adelaide (Australia’s largest wine-growing region), F&HE’s wine and travel editor Ingrid Casson studied wine and journalism before moving to SA 10 years ago. Mad about wine and food, she’s happiest when travelling… Spring is here and – especially for the English – scotch eggs are a picnic staple. Thought to have been dreamt up in the Middle Ages by Scottish farmers and shepherds, it made for a hearty, portable snack in the fields that could be wrapped up and kept in the bag. With scotch eggs’ multi layers they look a bit complicated to make, but the F&HE…

The day’s itinerary is usually decided on the day by the director, depending on how happy he is with the shooting’s pace. So we went straight to Tarsus instead, birthplace of the apostle Paul, and seeing as we’re shooting ‘The lonely footsteps of the apostle Paul’, an important place indeed. We went to St Paul’s Well – the well that was used in Tarsus during Paul’s time, surrounded by original stone…

Koula, 94.7 presenter and F&HE blogger, is loving all things food-related in her travels through Turkey, Greece, Italy and Israel… Wednesday 22 August We left our hotel in Urfa early this morning (much to my relief – I so appreciate the freedom I have as a woman living in South Africa) and drove out to Kahta. Our first stop: the ancient Black Bird statue (Karakus), high up on a mountain top. From there, we took a long, winding road to get to Mount Nemrut. The views of the lush Mesopotamian plain around us, once again, breath-taking! The ruins we were…

Dominique Brown is F&HE’s features writer. She’s the resident Durbanite who constantly craves sunshine and wine. An avid cook and consumer of food, she’s dabbled in urban veggie-growing and chicken-rearing. If you meet her she will probably try to feed you. Food editor Leila and myself decided to celebrate our return to gym (in anticipation of summer) with some sushi and wine, and so we found ourselves at Tsunami in the Morningside Shopping Centre. The place was buzzing with people, crowding the pavements and baring their arms in the almost muggy atmosphere. Being a Durbs girl myself, I had never…
