1. Stunning video down Stradun from Dubrovnik Old Town Walls in Croatia. | 2. Anchovy bruschetta and a Croatian beer at Ala Mizerija, a hidden little beach bar I can’t wait to share with you in my foodie travel guide! | 3. My favouritr Hugo Spritz before a swim in the Adriatic at the Buza Bar beach club. | 4. More bruschetta, this time topped with grilled sardines at The Standard Inn in Rye. | 5. A fantastic sharing spread at Cookhouse in Newcastle. | 6. And over at Macknade, my wildly popular recipe for Lemon & Poppy Seed Muffins made with these stunning Sicilian lemons is new online.
