How are you all doing?

A year ago Mr. M & I used the Japan’s Golden Week break to discover more of beautiful Mother Earth – we travelled through Uzbekistan.

And right now we would be on our adventure through Azerbaijan, Georgia and Armenia soaking up the century-old history and culture of that fascinating part of the world. We would be exploring the local cuisine, ancient monasteries, charming villages as old as the hills and spectacular mountain vistas.

Instead we are hunkered down in Tokyo trying to ride out the wave of strange uncertainty that has washed over each and everyone of us. And that’s ok – we should all be doing our best to make sure the current situation gets resolved as soon as possible. If that is staying at home so be it!

If you follow my Instagram/Facebook stories you might have noticed that I’ve rediscovered my love of cooking – scroll down for some of the recipes I’ve been using recently. 

Instead of travelling I’m spending far more time reading well-written articles some of which I have shared with you below in the hope that you might find them useful.

I sincerely hope you, your family and friends are all ok, wherever you are. 

Stay healthy & safe
