Anna Maria Espsäter

A native of Sweden, long-term London-resident Anna Maria Espsäter, spent some of her formative years in Mexico and after first discovering tacos, chillies and tequila, she’s never looked back. A food and travel journalist, she takes every opportunity to scurry the globe in search of new and exciting food experiences and with 81 countries visited to date, her recipe cupboard is overflowing with culinary secrets from near and far.

Currently writing the new Footprint Handbook to Mexico, due out this autumn, Anna Maria has also written for the Independent, the Daily Telegraph, Metro and contributed to the food anthology 1001 Foods You Must Try Before You Die.

Helen Hokin's July Picks

07/07/2010

Foodtripper: The Collection has just launched. This boutique selection of the world's best cookery holidays brings global gourmet retreats direct to your fingertips... your very own delicious escape is just a click away. On Foodtripper TV, we’ve invited top chef Rowley Leigh to make the most of Spain's short-lived Picota cherry season, cooking up a classic clafoutis. And we have a fab holiday to Spain's Jerte Valley for one lucky individual.

Helen Hokin's June Picks

10/06/2010

In anticipation of a long, hot, British summer I stay close to home dropping by Le Cafe Anglais where Rowley Leigh - just turned 60 - shares future plans for the restaurant and role as poster boy for the forthcoming Picota cherry season. Across town, at The Lanesborough, Heinz Beck's elegant summer menu is served. Go there for the chaud-froid Herbal infusion with tuna tartare and green tea sorbet - more Mediterranean gluttony than molecular gastronomy.

Foodtripper met the most lauded chefs on earth at The World's Fifty Best Restaurant Awards. Taking 1st prize is Noma in Copehagen knocking El Bulli off the top spot and sending a ripple effect through the chart. Heston moves down to 3rd place. Hibiscus is in, by a whisker, at number 49 leaving the total number of Brits in the top 50 at a mere three.
