We should be boarding an airplane today. Final destination New Zealand, for Doug's 60th birthday. Like many, whose birthdays, weddings and other celebrations have been interrupted by this global health crisis, we thought certainly by now things would be better. While physical travel to the area must wait, we can still journey by imagination, sense and taste. September marks the beginning of spring there, and so in Doug's honor we depart, if only in spirit, to enjoy cooler temperatures and Kiwi fare.

​Welcome to Kitchen Traveler, the creative brainchild of writer Michele McMurry and husband Doug, who together recreate flavors from afar from their cozy galley kitchen in San Antonio, Texas. While our passion for wandering and savoring the globe is not new, our appreciation for such experiences ─ that for now remain on hold ─ is deeper than ever.
