Mallorca Part 1


It's finally time for a summer holiday! It is definitely long overdue, so I am in Mallorca for just over 2 weeks. I have a week with a couple of girl friends, and then 10 days with my boyfriend, before the holiday ends with a friends' wedding.

So here's a quick update of some of the dishes I've been tucking into since we've been here.

One of my favourite places to eat is in Palma, and called Duke. It is run by 2 brothers, and they have travelled the world and chosen their favourite dishes from all their travels to serve up on the menu.

Let's take a look...





Above is the Greek sharing platter with feta cheese, humus, olives, tzatziki, flatbread and spiced lamb kofta. Nothing short of absolutely epic; inspired by their travels to Greece, perfected by their Greek chef.



Above is the teryaki salmon with a sesame crust, vegetables and rice. This was Issy's favourite, and a great Asian-inspired dish.



Staying along the Asian theme, there is the crispy shredded duck and mango salad. It has a delicious peanut dressing, and the mango on the top balances out the chilli within the dish.





A twist on Californian fajitas is next. Instead of chicken, the meat was prawn and squid in a BBQ sauce. With that came a sweet corn and grain mix, fresh tomato, mango and avocado, and of course the wraps to bundle it all up in. A really interesting alternative to the classic.

We have been having a huge range of foods, from traditional Spanish tapas to epic 3-man pizzas, to beautiful crab, lobster and mango salads from Nikki Beach. I'm getting some great inspiration, and there is so much more to come that I am excited about!



For now... Cheers!
