People Travel Food

I love to tell the stories of people, travel and food. My people-stories are framed by the lens of kindness, travel is an adventure, and food recipes are quick and easy.

I love this line! "Summer 2020, a bit of an oxymoron if the circumstances in which we all found ourselves are considered. Being locked down in Athens had the feeling of a techno track being paused, while the light installation was still on." Take a trip to Volos and beyond with Maria Filippou...awesome travelogue. #travelGreece https://peopletravelfood.com/2020/10/pelion-decameron-my-ten-days-in-pelion-greece/

This is the most traditional Guyanese Christmas dish, cooked up every Christmas season in the kitchens of Guyanese mamas worldwide. Pepperpot is a literal pot of our history.. within this dish lies the stories of all the peoples of our country...from the Indigenous people, and the enslaved people from the African continent, to the indentured servants and colonisers, and all the others in between. It is an example of how we can take the most awful of experiences and create something so beautiful. Here is the most amazing part of this Christmas story...a young man, white, no connection to this past...wanted to recreate this soul food for us. He aced it ( in fact he put me a Guyanese mama to shame)...his sheer desire to learn and to show us he know, he gets it is now incorporated in our Christmas Pepperpot. Thanks a million Byron Dueck! #pepperpot #Guyanesefood #guyanesechristmas #africanhistory #indianhistory #indigenoushistory #guyana #foodishistory #foodislife #lifeisfood (at Vancouver, British Columbia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CJRvKHCsylj/?igshid=1gyxd5scn77qe

Have you ever tried river snorkelling...on Vancouver Island? "River snorkelling is always about changing and moving. Like the rivers that never stand still, the fish are always on the go, and a snorkeler must follow. The beauty of what lies below is transcendental. Weird wonders lay around every rock." #snorkel #salmon #underwaterphotography #VancouverIsland https://peopletravelfood.com/2020/10/steel-snorkel-river-snorkelling-on-vancouver-island/

Chef Han, Executive Chef Kosoo Restaurants, shared this sablefish recipe with us so we can have it whenever we want, which could be every day of the week, for me. The recipe is as simple and pure as the man himself. #Koreanfood #chefs #Sablefish https://peopletravelfood.com/2020/10/korean-sablefish-soup-ala-chef-han-kosoo-restaurants/

We are all trying our very best to “get through the pandemic”, like it is a passing phase, like this is only happening to us personally. We are all living on the edge of an emotional cliff, not an emotional rollercoaster, but an actual cliff where one harsh judgement – from ourselves, or another – can and will tip us over the edge. #pandemictimes #newnormaloldmorals #kindness #Togetherwecan https://peopletravelfood.com/2020/10/questioning-our-privilege-and-dealing-with-the-guilt-of-it/

After a day of crap world news I am so looking forward to heading to my bedtime reading...people of honour and morals and genuine kindness. People from the world I came from, we grew up with that belief in humanity and integrity. 2021 is going to be waking up from a 4 year long nightmare...when that morning sun is shining and you realise it was a bad dream and there is hope to make today and awesome day. #barackobama #joebiden #humanityfirst #newnormal #kindness #newworldoldnormal (at Coal Harbour) https://www.instagram.com/p/CIIWEnqhuyo/?igshid=k3p6qc1szbtn

This week's #sharesomekindness a little or a lot it doesn't matter...except for the receiver where every tiny bit is a gift of unexpected kindness. Bread and butter, cheese, tomato and mayo...socks to warm some toes...a toonie for a coffee. You know what you can give, when and where. Kindness is not an obligation nor an expectation, it is in your power to choose, and no one should be judged for not doing kind acts...be kind because it feels so bloody good:-) An extra apple or 2, thinner slices of cheese all around so there is more to share, a packet of socks that can be shared out. That is a yes. It is ok to say no too...like I did today when a young man in front of Starbucks asked me for money to buy a frappuccino:-) #kindacts #kindness #givingsunday #selfishacts (at Downtown Vancouver) https://www.instagram.com/p/CHtXjQchdnF/?igshid=1utexnc3i2d1j
