An Ode To St. George’s
St. George’s, Bermuda. The land of blue and blue. A place so old, so quaint, so charming. A place where my nana was born and where my kids go to school. A town that birthed Bermuda as we know it today. This summer, I did a photo shoot around St. George’s with the lovely Sanae Murata and we captured some fabulous images, most of which I haven’t posted here. Enjoy!…

Five Amazing Bottles of Rose’ (that you can actually afford)
Let me start this off by saying we all know I am not a wine expert, but I love me some wine. During the cooler months, I enjoy red wine exclusively but once the warm weather hits, it’s rosé all day baby! There’s just something so fabulous about a bottle of light pink wine. I can’t really describe, but it just feels right to be sipping on a cold, crisp…

Video: Rose’ Tasting Part Two
Today, I’m back with the remaining bottles of rosé from my haul last month at Burrows Lightbourne in Bermuda. I tasted the first three bottles in this video and today, we’re trying out the other three. In this video, I sampled The Palm, Mirabeau and Rosa de Massi.

How to do Cup Match like a Bermudian
The song goes: “Cup Match time in Bermuda, BACCHANAL, BACCHANAL. Go, go, go, Arrow, Go, go, go Arrow, Jam Bermuda, Jam Bermuda”! It is THE song for Cup Match time in Bermuda and has been sung since I was a child. So what is Cup Match? Cup Match celebrates the island’s emancipation from slavery. It’s the biggest event on the Bermuda calendar, taking place during the last Thursday and Friday…

Today, we’re sampling three bottles of rosé! If you saw my video over the weekend, I picked up six bottles from Burrows Lightbourne in Bermuda to taste. Instead of doing six bottles at once, I decided to sample three at a time and film two videos for you. In this video, I sampled Floriography, Domaine Tempier Bandol and Chornic Cellars Pink Pedals. The only bottle I’d tried before was the…

Recipe: The Ultimate Plant Based Breakfast
Breakfast is the hardest plant based meal to get right. Most restaurants have plenty vegan or plant based options for lunch and dinners and if they don’t, they are usually more than happy to whip something up for you. But breakfast, yea right. They have no idea what to do there. When my husband turned vegan cold-turkey in 2016, we had to stop going out for breakfast, which is my…

Recipe: Summer Corn & Roasted Tomato Pasta
In the summer, the one thing I want to eat almost every day is fresh corn on the cob. Bermuda happens to grow a very delicious variety but only in the summer. Every week, I go to the grocery store and grab me a bag of corn in the husk for the week. Even though I enjoy cooking complicated dishes, with corn, I like to keep it simple. The most…

Summer is officially here in Bermuda and that means spending more time outside. If you’re anything like me, alfresco dining is a top priority once the weather warms up. I don’t think there’s anything I enjoy more than sitting outside at a restaurant, sipping an ice-cold glass of rose and eating delicious food – preferably fresh fish. There’s just something wonderful about dining outside. It brings so much joy, simple…
