I am lucky to have travelled to some delicious destinations and have collected precious food memories. For me, food is an important part of travel and I love exploring other cuisines while expanding my growing edge.

Some memorable meals include:

• Late night takoyaki made fresh to order out of a van in a deserted parking lot in Osaka, Japan
• Our first larb in Laos from this random restaurant in the middle of nowhere just on the border of Vietnam and Laos
• Killing and eating a snake at a snake restaurant in Hanoi, Vietnam

I have so many more food memories I want to collect but it’s nice to be able to travel to faraway places by recreating dishes at home.

I hope this month’s travel theme inspires you to cook something from your travels or something from a place you would like to travel to. Because there’s nothing quite like falling in love with places you’ve yet to visit.

Some ideas you could try this month:

• Cook something from memory from your travels
• Host a tropical themed potluck
• Cook something from a place you would love to visit
• Recreate a dish from your favourite ethnic eatery
• Try a new restaurant that serves food from your travels
• Make an exotic dessert
• Attend a cooking class based on the cuisine of a country you would like to visit
• Take a classic recipe and adapt it to reflect flavours from your travels
• Make a cocktail inspired by a holiday
