What inspires me

A food lover loves to head out and discover new places. I get inspired by delicacies I eat in restaurants, street food, different cuisines, travel and lifestyle TV shows and the list goes on.

I simple love what Ishai Golan does in his famous television series ‘Street food around the world’. He explores the origins and recipes of the most savory and surprising local dishes around the world. He travels to a different city and in the time span of 24 hours; he meets with the locals and must eat whatever they eat. It’s an exciting journey to discover the culinary gems of food stalls, colorful food markets and popular local restaurants, which draw hundreds of passers-by every day. God, how I wish I could do what he does!!!

I trust the internet and the recommendations people make. Especially if it is a cuisine you’ve never tried before or a place you’ve never visited before. I believe in taking collective opinion but at the same time I listen to what my heart says. Remember, people write when they truly feel a certain way about something. I research anxiously on delicious places. It gives me immense joy to learn how passionately people talk about the thing you have a soft spot for.

Remember, think outside the box! People who are always looking for good food discover places they have never heard or read about. Someone rightly said that ‘Hole-in the walls are so much more fun than over hyped!
