Tours in a Dish and the secret to her success
My journey towards Tours in a Dish
A childhood move to Wales and finding a friend there, whose family were Dutch farmers, kick started my love of languages, cultures and…..FOOD. Between chasing errant cows and herding Texels, I learnt how to make boterkoek and put chocolate sprinkles (hagelslag) on my toast as a breakfast norm. My young taste buds were warmed to the chilli heat of Indonesia’s sambal which reached the Welsh farmhouse kitchen via a Dutch version of nasi goreng. In the music filled village hall, the ubiquitous Welsh teas were made up of plate loads of home-baked, buttery Welsh cakes and dark, juicy bara brith. My tongue delighted at the new flavours of food and words and here a passion was born.
Travelling and working in different countries, studying languages and with it, people and their foods became my hobby and profession. On return to the UK, I made my new home in beautiful York and teaching Spanish at university, mostly through the medium of food, became my thing. Guest speakers were invited to talk about the food in Don Quixote, Fairtrade coffee from Peru, the history of Gachas Manchegas to name but a few. Beginners were taught ¿Dónde se come bien por aquí? (Where’s a good place to eat around here?) in their first lesson as the most important expression in their survival kit Spanish.
