I like Osteria Da Francesco, Thalwil - here is their Cavatelli All Norma; with aubergine and ricotta. Pretty satisfying.

Apfel Strudel after a cheese fondue at Restaurant Felsenegg - there is a beautiful view over Lake Zurich from here

Very good duck fried rice at Gohan, Konstanz - prawn crackers and gyoza were good too.

Each time we visit Konstanz we try a different ice cream parlour - Eiscafe Dolomiti is the best so far - here’s the coppa golosa, with chocolate, hazelnut, vanilla and mascarpone-cream.

Somehow I ended up at Black Tap, Zurich for a fourth time. The queues have gone and the burger was poor - the whole meal was too chewy and dry. The fries were also lukewarm. Never again.

First time at Pasta Mercato @ Bridge, Zurich - excellent pasta and my small pre-prepared slice of salami piccante was really good

Pizza Express, Edinburgh Airport is new. The base is not crispy but I enjoyed the flavours on this smoky BBQ chicken pizza, even if it did cost £19.50

The matcha and strawberry drinks seemed popular enough to queue for at Blank St, Edinburgh - but I was here for the gooey goodness of their fudge cookie

Brilliant Tarte au Citron meringue from the welcoming and lovely La Barantine Victoria, Edinburgh

Tapa, Leith, Edinburgh was great 10 years ago and it’s even better today - wonderul tapas and I loved the Spanish green peppers

An ok quiche with peppers and olives with some pleasant sweet potato and mango chutney while visiting Dynamic Earth, Edinburgh - but there was a beastie in the salad and they should have washed it better!
