Food is a category unto itself. Part of the enjoyment of traveling, or daily life at home, is eating. You’ve reached our food blog page which encompasses food-related posts on this site whether it’s dining out or cooking travel inspired recipes at home.

While these may not be exactly like the ones you'd get in la boulangerie, they are good and super-easy to make.
I learned about the Japanese fish-shaped waffles from my daughter who loves Japanese sweets. But when our go-to Seattle taiyaki place disappeared, a search ensued to find out where to get the best taiyaki in Seattle.

This recipe was inspired by many things: digging clams in the Pacific Northwest and a recipe from the Frugal Gourmet cookbook, the mussels I ate in a restaurant on Loch Linnhe in Scotland (I haven't quite approached their amazingness), French Clams Bordelaise. Fortunately steaming shellfish with wine is easy; it's now made even easier by the Instant Pot!
