Introduction I am a musician with a love of food, films, wine, art, books and travel. And music of course. And the odd cocktail. I have written professionally about film and music for various newspapers for 25 years. Food-wise I have spent 40 years eating around the world, from Alinea in Chicago to the backstreets of Penang. This is my first blog.
