Corsica is a special place for me, besides Stockholm and Paris I also consider Corsica my home. There is a very particular culture and atmosphere in Corsica, it is an island that has a slogan–’’invaded by many but conquered by none’’ – and that gives you an idea of the pride and courage of its people. You do not provoke a corsican without good reason or you will find yourself in deep trouble, having said that, they are also a people of great dignity, simplicity and passion.
Scrubbing the floor of the roof terrace in Porto Vecchio marks the beginning of the summer season – this place is like the roof of a riyad in Marrakesh or like the deck of a boat. The birds fly so close it feels like one is up in the sky.
I have just visited London with my teenage daughter Nina. London has a very special place in my heart as I grew up there from the age of two to twenty-one.
Walking around the back streets of Chelsea and Kensington bring back so many random childhood memories. A mix of skipping to tea in shiny Start-rite shoes with my nanny, to teenage memories of parties, boyfriends and absurd happenings.
OK, lets face it, I love food. I find a particular pleasure in comfort food, the kind of food that is casual, relaxed, and easy to eat and fills you with a sense of well being, a happy warm feeling.
Ironically enough, several of my favourite traditions come from England, otherwise accused of having a terrible culinary culture – especially by the French (!) But I would like to stand up for the ol’country and proclaim that the English breakfast is one of my best meals of the day, especially on weekends when one has time to linger.
