About last night....I am a big fan of Italy. South Italy, especially Naples, has been on my bucket list for many years. The excellent wine dinner at @mjpattheshepherds featured wines from @feudi_di_san_gregorio, one of the best vineyards in South Italy (close to Naples) has convinced me, even more, to head down here sooner than later.Last night was a beautiful evening, so we decided to walk down to Fen Ditton. The commons are covered with spring flowers, especially the buttercups this time of the year. Absolutely stunning.We arrived early, so we started with cocktails in the bar. Followed by a 6-course tasting menu paired with 5 excellent wines.English asparagus, potato & truffle
Falanghina del SannioSea bream, turnip, pistachio & pickled mustard seed
Greco di TufoRoasted duck breast, chicory, pickled walnut ketchup, orange jus
TaurasiStilton, granny smith tarte Tartin
Irpina Agliancio, RubratoStrawberry, toasted meringue, lime
Falanghina Dubl SpumanteKeep an out for their next wine dinner and if you live nearby, take the opportunity to stroll along the river before and after dinner. There is no better start to an evening out when the sun is out.#foodiegerla #gerladeboer #travel #loveoffoodandtravel #travelblogger #foodblogger #globetrotter #gourmet #restaurantscambridge #mjpatthesheperds #cambridgewinedinners #finediningcambridge #michelincambridge #markpoynton #feudidisangregorio #finediningcambridge #visitcambridge #visitcambridgeandbeyond #michelinguide #cambridgefoodie #cambridgefoodblogger

White gold…If you’re from the Netherlands or Germany, you know what it means. Indeed, white asparagus. It also means the start of the warmer weather, late spring.It’s very difficult to get hold of white asparagus in England.It’s most of the time a stand alone dish served with eggs, ham or salmon. Yesterday it was part of our Easter feast served with pesto made of homegrown wild garlic and garlic.The recipe I use is very simple.* bring the asparagus to the boil in salted water and mace.
* turn off the heat and let it sit there until your ready. At least 30 minutes.#culinaris #whiteasparagus #whiteasparagusseason #whiteasparagusrecipe #foodiegerla #gerladeboer #foodbloggercambridge

Let's turn the tide!"I have just looked up your @CbTravelguide - it looks amazing. I would never have associated Cambridge with food, but obviously, you have a passion for it."Let's get this right... I don't have just a passion for food, but Cambridge too. I fell in love with the City many years before moving here, and I can't get enough of it.The historic centre is breathtaking, but there is much more to my home town than buildings.Move away from Kings Parade, walk through the cobbled streets, head over to Mill Road and follow the River Cam to Fen Ditton. Don't forget to stop for refreshments at one of the quirky places en route.Next week, I'll share my favourite itineraries on my @CBtravelguide to explore 'my' Cambridge.#cambridgefoodtour #cbtravelguide

A hidden gem on the Norfolk coast.A last-minute

A hidden gem on the Norfolk coast.A last-minute change of plans brought us to this lovely pub tucked away on Ship Lane close to the old harbour in Thornham.At certain times of the year, Norfolk becomes very busy. It is often difficult to find a quiet spot. The beach of Thornham is not only one of the prettiest beaches in Norfolk but away from the crowds too.@lifeboatinnthornham is set on a quiet lane overlooking the marshes and stunning sea views. You can curl up around the fire with a hot drink or something stronger on colder days and tuck into a comforting pub meal in the evenings afterwards. It's the perfect spot for an escape to this part of the world to escape the crowds.#gerladeboer #foodiegerla #travel #loveoffoodandtravel #norfolkholidays #travel #norfolkcoast #norfolkstays #norfolkholidays #norfolkpubs #norfolkfood #travelbloggerlife #norfolkhotels #lifeboatinnthornham l #lifeboatinnnorfolk #pubfoodnorfolk #cambridgefoodie #weekendescapesnorfolk #thornham #thornhamnorfolk

One of my favourite restaurants in Norfolk is @sociusnorfolk in Burnham market.It is tucked away from the main centre at the edge of the parking area behind the shops and houses.Natalie and Dan have mastered the art of the modern take on British Tapas served on small plates.Their open-plan restaurant and kitchen were designed to create a unique and sociable dining experience where guests can enjoy the food and drink while watching our team at work.Although their menu changes regularly, their most popular dishes will always be included. You can't dine with Socius and not order the sticky prawns and the chocolate sea salt mars bar!Make sure you book a table well in advance to avoid disappointment. Furry friends are welcome at lunchtime, and toddlers too!#foodiegerla #gerladeboer #travel #loveoffoodandtravel #travelblogger #foodblogger #globetrotter #gourmet #restaurantsburnhammarket #sociusnorfolk #restaurantsnorfolk #finediningnorfolk #michelinnorfolk #tapasnorfolk #bestrestaurantsnorfolk #sociustaps #visitnorfolk #visitnorfolkcoast #michelinguide #cambridgefoodie #norfolktravel

About last night….Date night with my daughter calls for oysters. Lucky us… @kingston.hummus.wine have an excellent offer every Monday. £1 per oyster. That’s an offer hard to resist!We tucked into a large plate of Maldon Oysters first, followed by a Meze paired with one of their fine wines and a glass of Champagne to celebrate, as we don’t get to see each other that often.#cambridge #foodiegerla #datenightcambridge #kingstoncambridge #kingstonhummusandwine #oystermonday #oystermondays #oysteroffer #maldonoysters #maldonoyster #kingstonarmscambridge #winebarscambridge #happymondays #cambridgerestaurants
