I love Vietnam AND I love Coffee! I went to Vietnam on my gap year, and loved it so much, I actually ditched the rest of my trip and stayed in Vietnam, traveling from town to town!

I own my own little country pub in the middle of the New Forest in the South of England, and I spend all my time in the kitchen as head chef. I recently heard of Michael Hoffmann and his vegetables from a friend of mine, and ever since, I have been googling him for inspiration in my own dishes! I would LOVE to go to his Margaux Restaurant in Berlin. I have never been to Germany but when the next holiday comes up, I am definitely going to be pushing to go to Berlin and the Margaux Restaurant!
