Hello and welcome to another episode of Two Fat Expats, where we believe you should live a fat expat life.

How do you source good food as an expat? For many of us living away from the comfort food of home we need to adapt and source food that we may never have even eaten before.

As expats we substitute ingredients, cook from scratch and buy weird and wonderful fruits and vegetables just to put a meal on the table for our families.

We hear from many of our listeners on how they source food and what it’s truly like for expats living in foreign cities.

A big thank you to the lovely Sarah and Cate for sharing their stories on life in Africa and how they have had to adapt their way of cooking and sourcing food.

We also spoke to Chef Ryan, the Executive Chef at the Shangri-La Hotel Doha on his most fondest food memories and how the Middle East inspires his recipes.
