I absolutely adore Vienna. Maybe because it reminds me a little of Paris with it’s beautiful architecture, café culture and delicious food. {Photo by Anna Burghardt/Dress gifted by Lena Hoschek}

It was a whirlwind trip to Tokyo to promote the Japanese launch of The Little Swedish Kitchen cookbook, TV show and The Little Paris Kitchen DVD. I also had a speedy 36 hours in Yamanashi to film a NHK TV special. There wasn’t much time to explore but I did try to make the most of it and squeeze as much eating and little shopping too.

As most of you already know, I made a quick trip to Tokyo earlier this month to launch the Japanese edition of Rachel Khoo’s Kitchen Notebook. It was a whirlwind trip of television appearances, book signings, special lunches, and meet-and-greets with some of my biggest [...]

Now that I’m spending more time in Sweden, I feel more inspired by my surroundings than ever before. The Swedes have a unique, minimalist and delicious approach to all things fashion, design and, of course, fika.

The #littlepariskitchen is being repeated on BBC Two, and with it comes a whole host of happy memories. Most of them involving food, cooking delicious recipes, sharing picnics with friends along the Seine and painting with my set of watercolours. Those watercolours, along with my trusty Moleskine notebook, went everywhere with me.
