Icelandic Spice Cake
I would say 80% of the reason I like to travel is because of food. I love trying new cuisines and learning about the food culture in different places. It’s not often that you get to see a cookbook that invokes both wanderlust and hunger. For me Far Afield by Shane Mitchell transported me to the […]
