The documentary I recently worked on with my friend and colleague Andy Spitz, had me racing around the world working and eating in five cities – Warsaw, Moscow, Istanbul, Dubai and Lagos. Amazing material for Exploring Eating I thought, but 18 hour shoot days and other concurrent work commitments at Allaboutwriting left little to no time for actually writing about or recording the food and eating experiences that came our way.

Luckily for me, many of the most amazing food experiences we had were actually part of the documentary and we have hours of food related footage.

So now that the editing is just about over and given that today is a public holiday in South Africa I thought I’d sneak away from my long to do list for a few hours and go through Andy’s beautiful footage pulling out a few frame grabs.

I give you cities one and two, Warsaw and Moscow:
