The Huffington Post: Eating my way Through Amman
Culinary Travel: Amman, Jordan – as seen on The Huffington Post Travel
I’ve always said that being a food blogger allows me to be an urban explorer from a taste perspective and this has never proved to be true as much as it did on my most recent visit to Amman.

The instructions were simple, create an impressive and healthy main dish in 30 minutes with a cut of OBE Organic Beef and access to a small pantry of mystery ingredients. The 12 contestants would later be reduced to four and compete in a second challenge, given a new cut of beef and new mystery ingredients. Continue reading
