The sky is the limit!That’s what I used to think when it came to travel. The last 1.5 year has made me aware, that we shouldn’t take things for granted.Travel for me is not only soaking up new cultures and exploring their food.It’s for me to visit some of my loved ones too,who don’t live in England.The challenges of the last few weeks to get my first journey to the Netherlands after 17 months organised will be worth it, but online instructions aren’t always that clear. On top that regulations constantly change.Much respect for the patience of the check-in staff of @klm at @londoncityair. I can highly recommend using City Airport for your journey to @visitholland.nl. They offer 3 flights per day, rather than a few flights per week.Need a place to stay? @lcy.hotel is just 3 minutes walk away.

Saturday night, Curry night!The best thing about

Saturday night, Curry night!The best thing about arriving home is tucking into one of your favourites, Indian food. I am not easy to please when it comes to Indian cuisine. Having been to India many times, I make all my curries from scratch and grind the spice mixtures myself, so I control the heat and spices.When it comes to Indian food, there are some great curry houses in Cambridge, but excellent Indian restaurants too. These are a notch up from a curry house and offer something different and authentic! Many people think that the unusual dishes are a twist on Indian food, but it is often street food changed into a sit-down dish. I remember a Pakastani friend in Cape Town serving Kachumbar with her feast. I thought it was a modern addition to Pakistani food. Not at all! And this authentic lovely refreshing salad is often part of an Indian meal at my home.@tawacambridge is one of the excellent Indian restaurants in Cambridge. Last night we ordered our takeaway Indian Tawa meal via the independent food delivery company @foodstuffcambs. We started with Aubergine, onion pakora and chicken 50/60, their take on the Chinese Indian dish, chicken 65 and Indian cowl slaw.For mains, we had the chicken Chettinad, Cochin prawn curry and another Indian Chinese favourite of mine, the chilli paneer. I have been hesitant to order the prawn curry out of fear that the prawns would be tough. The prawn curry was just as good as I have had in Cochin! So go for it!Do you fancy a bit of spice and cocktails? Head over to Tawa at the station. It is tucked away at the back of @wework#foodiegerla #gerladeboer #travel #loveoffoodandtravel #travelblogger #foodblogger #globetrotter #gourmet #tawacambridge #foodstuffcambridge #indiancuisine #indianstreetfood #indianchinesecuisine #asianfood #chicken65 #cochinprawncurry #bestindianfood #cambridge #cambridgefood #cambridgefoodie #currynight #cambridgecurryhouses #cochinfood #takeawafood #quickdinner

An evening of fine food and wine at Rogan & Co.

An evening of fine food and wine at Rogan & Co.Our visits to Cartmel in the past always included dinner at @lenclume and at @aulis, the development kitchen of Simon Rogan. It is so much fun eating on the 6-seater bar here, watching the chefs at work. We also booked it for the family three years ago, so we turned it into a private dining experience.Unfortunately, due to the pandemic, Aulis now serves the same menu as L'Enclume. Of course, we were disappointed. However, it was an excellent opportunity to dine at their 1-star sister restaurant @rogan_and_co.One minor correction, we have eaten at Rogan & Co, but just for breakfast. We usually stay in one of the luxury rooms of L'Enclume, which are dotted around the village. Breakfast is served at Rogan & Co and always something to look forward to. No buffet here, all freshly cooked to order.The beauty of Rogan & Co's menu is that you can choose as many dishes as you wish to, so you'll have your own bespoke tasting menu if you wish. It was difficult to choose our favourite dish, but the potato pancakes with cod's roe knocked us off our feet! Amazing what you can do with a simple spud!We kicked off with a rose sparkling wine from @extonparkvineyard, exclusively created for Simon Rogan. Highly recommended for its subtle taste. For snacks, we had the Doddington Gougeres with truffle and the potato pancakes to share. Followed by a starter, mains and dessert each.* Cornish squid noodles, pork dashi, cured egg & shimeji
* Smoked Maran egg yolk, fresh pea & jasmine* Poached St Brides chicken, Jerusalem artichoke, stout
vinegar & tarragon
* Poached pollock, onion tapioca, kohlrabi & mussel
broth
* Sides - wilted farm greens ( Chard and Rusian Kale)* Dark chocolate fondant, celery milk & sea salt paired with Chateau de la Peyrade, Muscat de Frontignan
* Set buttermilk custard, rhubarb & anise hyssop paired with Chateau Partarrieu, Sauternes, France, 2016If you're planning to spend some time in the Cartmel area, I highly recommend including @henrocksimonrogan too. It's still on my bucket list, but it's, even more, an excellent excuse to return sooner than later to Cartmel.

Glad to be back!The 2 Michelin star restaurant @lenclume is one of my favourite restaurants, and I have been very lucky to visit it quite a few times over the last few years.Our last visit should have been in March 2020. Of course, that didn't happen. It was cancelled and then booked again for last March. Unfortunately, this booking had to be postponed again.It was worth the wait. The 16-course dinner was fantastic and the service sublime. What else do you want? More dinners here, of course!#foodiegerla #gerladeboer #travel #loveoffoodandtravel #travelblogger #foodblogger #globetrotter #gourmet #foodglooby #lenclume #simonrogan #michelin #michelinstarrestaurants #cartmel #visitcumbria #toprestaurnats #farmtoplate #michelinuk #cambridgefood #cambridgefoodie

One of the reasons I created @cbtravelguide….Since a very young age, I mapped out the travels for our family. I love exploring new places, especially off the beaten track.Last year in Singapore we included the open green spaces. Imagine walking over a jungle on a funky metal bridge away from the crowds!One of my favourite cities is Rome. Much to my surprise I had to tell a Rome tour guide where to find the house of owls! It’s actually quite close to the famous sites, but you need to dig deeper to find it! That’s why I started the @cbtravelguide so I could share the real Cambridge with visitors and locals!So why is the house of owls a must visit in Rome?This intriguing house is situated at Rome's Villa Torlonia and contains a fascinating collection of owls.A fairytale like house known as the Casina delle Civette, or the little house of the owls, this curious complex was designed originally, in 1840, as a "Swiss cabin" for Prince Alessandro Torlonia, who used to live in the main house before Benito Mussolini moved in.The house of owls is a fantastic homage to art nouveau and a wonderful break away from the crowds.At the entrance of the park you’ll find an excellent restaurant for a bite to eat!#discoverrome #discoverromewithme #visitrome #houseofowls #foodiegerla #tourrome #secretrome
