  • Just can’t beat the colour of a Cambodian market. Come join us on one of our 2019 Cambodia Culinary Tours or our Travel & Food Writing & Photography Retreat and we’ll take you here with our Cambodian culinary guide - and on street food tours, cooking classes, and visits to artisanal makers of things like rice noodles and traditional deserts. You’ll eat everywhere from simple home-style meals at local eateries to multi-course gastronomic tasting menus at Cambodia’s best restaurants. You’ll scramble temples galore, from mysterious Beng Mealea, embraced by the jungle forest, to stupendous Angkor Wat with its intricate bas reliefs and carvings. And you’ll trundle on charming tuk tuks through sleepy villages of traditional wooden houses around Siem Reap and Battambang. In your downtime, you can swim or snooze by the pool, get pampered at a spa, or shop for beautiful handcrafted Cambodian made things. We still have some discounted spots left on our early 2019 small group trips, so do get in touch if you want to come and get a delicious taste of Cambodia with us. Dates and prices for early 2019 trips on the link in the bio or DM for deets. #siemreap #cambodia #asia #travel #culinarytravel #culinaryjourneys #food #foodie #foodies #foodietravel #foodlover #cambodianfood #khmerfood #cambodiancuisine #asianfood #localtravel #slowtravel #slowfood #smallgrouptour #experientialtravel #immersivetravel #traveldeeper #tour #cambodiaculinarytour #grantourismotravels
  • Cambodians are on holidays for Pchum Ben at the moment but we’re hard at work in our Siem Reap studios trying to get at least one of the many projects we have underway finished. I’m currently looking at a gorgeous blue sky from my desk, desperately wishing I could get out and take a breezy tuk tuk trundle through the countryside to enjoy these kind of views. Hopefully I’ll have time soon. Deep sigh... Anyone else wishing they were somewhere else right now? #lifeofawriter #writerslife #writer #travelwriter #foodwriter #writersofinstagram #writerscommunity #writersofig #writersoninstagram #publisher #selfpublishing #cambodia #siemreap #beautiful #beautifulview
  • Some of the herb, spice and chili pastes used in Cambodian cooking, which is distinguished more by its use of aromatics like lemongrass, kaffir lime and galangal, rather than by heat and fire. There are definitely some complex curries with a depth of flavour to rival Thailand’s, like the saraman curry. But generally Cambodian curries are gentle, and chili is used more as a condiment and its up to the user to what degree. Strolling the markets is one of the highlights of a visit to any city, town or village in Cambodia for us. As much to simply take in the atmosphere, admire the fresh produce and engage with the vendors, as to sample the street food that can also be found at market stalls. We’re in the final stages of a few projects we’ll be launching consecutively, related to street food, Cambodian food, and Asian markets, so getting both a little exited and very nervous. When you inject so much of your own time into these things and sacrifice other income in the process, it’s a risk and it’s little scary... stay tuned! #siemreap #cambodia #asia #travel #culinarytravel #culinaryjourneys #food #foodie #foodies #foodietravel #foodlover #cambodianfood #khmerfood #cambodiancuisine #asianfood #localtravel #slowtravel #slowfood #smallgrouptour #experientialtravel #immersivetravel #traveldeeper #tour #cambodiaculinarytour #grantourismotravels
  • This hardworking guy is climbing a palmyra palm, more commonly known as a sugar palm, to collect palm juice that’s been dripping from the palm fruit into a bamboo container over night. He’ll pour that from each of the bamboo containers that dangle beneath the fruit into the bamboo containers around his waste. During the season he’ll do this twice a day, the first time in the wee hours of the morning. Join us on one of our small group Cambodia Culinary Tours or our Travel/Food Writing & Photography Retreat and we’ll take you to watch this — along with other traditional practices still being done as they have been for many centuries, from weaving to handmade noodle-making. It’s these things - which are fast disappearing in neighboring countries - that make Cambodia so special. Dates and prices for early 2019 trips on the link in the bio or DM me for deets or to ask any questions. Just a few spots left and we’ve discounted them as we need to lock these off ASAP. We have travelling to do ourselves and books to write. #angkorwat #angkor #siemreap #cambodia #asia #travel #culinarytravel #culinaryjourneys #food #foodie #foodies #foodietravel #foodlover #cambodianfood #cambodiancuisine #asianfood #localtravel #slowtravel #slowfood #smallgrouptour #experientialtravel #immersivetravel #traveldeeper #tour #cambodiaculinarytour #grantourismotravels
  • Every sunrise at Angkor Wat is completely different. Some have been underwhelming as there’s been too much cloud cover or a completely clear sky. But when there’s just the right amount of cloud and sky and we get a sunrise like this, it can be truly spectacular, even sublime. I’ve lost count of how many sunrises over Angkor Wat I’ve seen. But I can just keep watching them again and again. I’m so lucky to have Angkor just down the road. I don’t take it for granted for a minute.

  • Love this image by Terence over on @terence_carter_photography of monks receiving their annual medicals at a Battambang pagoda during Pchum Ben. In case you missed my earlier post, Terence has finally started sharing his photography work on his own Instagram account so please do follow him there. (T originally started this account but I hijacked it ☹️) Terence will be sharing new pics as well as archival images from his long, rich body of work. Terence is best known as a travel and food photographer - he’s shot magazine features for everything from National Geographic Traveller to Delicious; loads of guidebooks incl. our own dozen first editions; news, incl. our archaeology exclusives for The Guardian and CNN; and a huge variety of other stuff, from our cookbook to commercial photography for restaurants. But way back in the late 80s, Terence studied film and photography at university and used to hand develop and print his images shot on film - everything from architecture to nudes. While you won’t see the latter here, I’m encouraging him to share work you wouldn’t have seen on this account before. One of our many projects in development is an online shop and you’ll be able to buy prints of Terence’s photography there. In the meantime, if you see anything you like let him know over on his new account. Thanks!
