Chuffed to share new work for Punch magazine, a publication I have long admired. This story features the barraquito, a coffee cocktail and one of Tenerife’s most iconic drinks. I happened to be on Tenerife when the story was commissioned, so I could provide both images and text. You can read the full piece here. With thanks to Sergio Martín, of Las Terrazas del Sauzal restaurant, who kindly shared his recipe with us.

Last year, fascinated by the superb beauty and incredible history of Lanzarote’s vineyards, I visited the island once again independently, to document harvest.
“Situated some 80 miles off the southwest coast of Morocco, Lanzarote — with its stunning coastline, desert-like climate and plethora of volcanoes — is the easternmost of Spain’s Canary Islands. Major volcanic activity between 1730 and 1736, and again in 1824, indelibly altered the island’s landscape and helped pave the way for an improbable sight: a vast expanse of otherworldly vineyards.
In recent years, Spain has devoted more land to vines than any other country in the world. And while the Canary Islands, more broadly, have a longstanding wine tradition — the archipelago’s wines, for example, were mentioned in several of Shakespeare’s plays — nothing could prepare me for the uniqueness of Lanzarote’s vines”.

Last August I was lucky enough to complete a hut-to-hut hike, the Alta Via 1, in the Dolomites.
“With their colossal limestone walls and gloriously green valleys, Italy’s Dolomites are home to some of the world’s most majestic scenery — and mountain huts called rifugios make it all the more accessible”.
