Welcome to the Wedge

Starting out as an idea to eat and document 365 cheeses in a very long year, Life on the Wedge has grown to become one of the must-read food blogs in Qatar and the region.

A writer, editor, blogger, traveler, foodie and social communications expert, her blog, Life on the Wedge is a fearless and (rare) unbiased look at the food and travel scene in Qatar and beyond.

You’ve heard this a million times before, but all views are her own, even if you don’t agree with them.

Rachel can be reached at info@taf3eel.com for collaborations, media inquiries and bad puns.

Wok and roll.. One thing this foodie loves (almost) as much as eating food is leaving how to cook it. I had a fabulous session with the culinary team @ritzcarlton #chengdu led by @steffen.gube during my visit. I learned the secret behind making authentic Kung Pao Chicken (hint it’s simpler and less saucy than you think), as well as mapo tofu and dumplings with chili oil. Meanwhile now I am back in #doha it’s time to put some of these techniques into action. . . . . . . . #travelingislife #rcmemories #tlpicks #letsgoeverywhere #lifeonthewedge #cookingclass #eatlocal #sichuanfood #chinesefood #kungpaochicken #liveauthentic #devourpower #foodiechats #forkyeah #foodieincarnate #dohafoodies #visitchina #qatarbloggers #vacationwolf #visitsichuan

Pandatastic... Last few hours in Chengdu and closing our what has been a fabulous and eye opening trip. Great food, friendly people and of course...the pandas. I didn’t know what to expect before I came and I have to say, I will be back for sure. Big thanks to @steffen.gube and the GM and team @ritzcarlton #chengdu For their hospitality. . . . . . #letsgoeverywhere #lifeonthewedge #china🇨🇳 #cuteanimals #theviewfromhere #chinatrip #traveldeeper #beautifuldestinations #beautifulhotels #travelandlife #littlemoments #coffeetime☕ #coffeeart #chinatravel #solotravelgirl #tlpicks #openmyworld #passportready #rainyday #rcmemories #travelingislife

Pandemonium... This is what I came to Chengdu for - nature’s comedians aka the Giant Panda. And they didn’t disappoint - funny, food loving (check the chomp on the bamboo) and dead cute. It was worth braving the crowds, the lines, the rain and humidity. But...pandas! PS you can pay extra to “hug” a panda but honestly I put this in the same league as elephant rides and tricks and photos with sedated tigers. . . . . . . . . . #chinatrip #traveldeeper #travelholic #panda #pandalove #pandamonium #chengdu #chengdulife #visitchina #chinatravel #cuteanimals #icanteven #china🇨🇳 #panda🐼 #lifeonthewedge #letsgoeverywhere #thehappynow #theviewfromhere #travel_captures #exploretocreate

Would you like fries with that? Sichuan fries, as it turns out, are a thing. While more al dente than the western version, they are tossed in chilies (let me say ALL the chilis) and make for a delicious street food treat. Follow my #chengdu food adventure don my instastories - basically the comedy value is white girl eating lots of spicy things. And pandas. . . . . . #chinatrip #traveldeeper #streetfood #travelholic #lifeonthewedge #sichuanfood #friesbeforeguys #fries #foodiechats #foodieheaven #sichuancuisine #eatingfortheinsta #foodandtravel #qatarbloggers #eattheworld #inmybelly #spicy #exploretocreate #visitchina

Serenity now... This is for those who think this trip is all about incredibly spicy food and pandas. I am loving Chengdu - it’s more chilled and friendly than Chinese cities I have visited. How’s the serenity... . . . . . #chinatrip #lifeonthewedge #travelholic #traveldeeper #chengdu #chengducity #wheretofindme #serenitynow #chinatravel #vacationwolf #roamtheplanet #bdteam #beautifuldestinations #morningslikethese #neverstopexploring #lovechina #morningslikethese #explorechina #qatarbloggers #foodieheaven #luxelife

Spice up your life.. So the chef described this breakfast soup as “spicy noodles” What he failed to tell me was that there were two types of chilli sauce, both impacting different parts of the mouth. The tingling started on my lips and by the end of the soup my mouth was on fire. But...I am in Sichuan and I did ask for it. First full day in #chengdu so expect Chillis, pandas and more food. . . . . #foodiechats #chinatown #sichuanfood #visitchina #spicy #dandan #chilli #eatingfortheinsta #foodandtravel #eater #lonelyplanet #wearetravelgirls #traveldeeper #qatarbloggers #foodasart #travelholic #thehappynow #chinatrip #lifeonthewedge #noodle

Dumplings for days... I’m heading our of town for a few days (hint...expect panda spam) but if I was here I would be making a beeline to @fsdoha for their #seafoodbuffet tomorrow. How is your weekend shaping up? . . . . . . #dimsum #yumcha #chinesefood #dumplings #eattheworld #lifeonthewedge #thehappynow #thefeedfeed #eatingfortheinsta #wheretoeat #dohafoodies #qatarrestaurants #foodieheaven #dumplingsfordays #eater #forkyeah #foodiechats #qatarbloggers

Blooming lovely... This is my kind of bouquet - as edible as it is beautiful. This delicious fresh tuna rose, made of delicate slivers of the fish was part of our sushi platter @morimotodoha recently. #love their innovative and well priced menu. This was almost too pretty to eat (just kidding). . . . . . . #japanesefood #sashimi #tunabelly #toro #sushitime #lifeonthewedge #celebritychef #sushimaster #foodasart #eattheworld #eattherainbow #foodiechats #foodieheaven #food52 #morimoto #dohafoodies #eateateat #onmyplate #foodstagram #qatarrestaurants #heresmyfood #liveauthentic #instajapan #mydailymeal #wheretofindme #wheretoeat

A different kind of service... Throwing it back this #traveltuesday to one of favorite trips - to the @golden.temple in Amritsar, India. The Golden Temple serves more than 50,000 hot meals each day to people of all religions and faiths who come to its doors. It’s an incredible feat and an even more incredible act of generosity. I didn’t know what to expect in Amritsar, but I was touched by its vibrancy. I promised myself I would go back, now to make that happen. . . . . . . . #amritsar #incredibleindia #dametraveler #sheisnotlost #liveauthentic #lifeonthewedge #goldentemple #storiesofindia #indiaclicks #indiatraveling #india_gram #doyoutravel #traveldeeper #openmyworld #indiatravels #adventurethatislife #foodieheaven #foodiechats #beautifuldestinations #travelwithme #passionpassport #awesupply #abmtravelbug #takemeback #fromwhereistand

Greece is the word.. Forget the Spanish Latte craze. This my coffee loving friends is the Cappucino Freddo - its stronger, more caffeinated Greek cousin. Thanks to fellow coffee lover and friend @georgiatheexpat for the heads up and @luminous_cafe for having it on their menu. It has a double shot of espresso, no sugar and it’s shaken (not stirred). Where has this been all my life? . . . . . . #damndelicious #coffeeholic #frappe #freddocappuccino #freddo #coffeeshop #dohafoodies #dohaqatar #cafestagram #coffeetime☕ #icedcoffee #morningslikethese #coffeebreak #lifeonthewedge #wheretoeat #wheretofindme #whatsforbreakfast #mondaymotivation #qatarbloggers #dohacafes #greekcoffee #startthedayright

Giveaway time...🎉 It’s humid, it’s hazy and frankly you don’t feel like cooking or even really venturing out. I bet you feel the same. But we have to eat... So I am making this week easy on you by partnering with @talabatqa to give away TWO QR150 vouchers to use on the meal delivery platform to my @instagram followers: It’s pretty easy to enter: - follow me on Instagram ⬆️ - follow @talabatqa on Instagram ➡️ - tag someone you would share your delivery foodies with ⬇️ Competition ends 12pm Wednesday 10 July. My suggestion for using those vouchers? Order a Greek feast from @greeksouvlakiqa in West Bay - freshly cooked Greek souvlaki and yeeros but it’s the creamy and garlicky tzatziki that wins the day. OK now I’m hungry... Get entering! . . . . . . #lifeonthewedge #qatarbloggers #noleftovers #food52 #giveaway #competition #freebie #talabat #homedelivery #foodiechats #greekfood #onmyplate #itswhatsfordinner #dohafoodies #eatingout #eatingin #eattheworld #souvlaki #yeeros #foodblogfeed #fooddelivery #foodiesofinstagram #qatarbloggers

In pizza we crust... Pizza? In a Japanese restaurant? Don’t knock it until you try it! This dish is one of Iron Chef @chef_morimoto signatures and this version from @morimotodoha last night doesn’t disappoint. Atop a base of crispy tortilla dough, you have red onion, black olives, jalapeño and tuna and topped off with anchovy aioli. Salty, crunchy, spicy...all the things. Unconventional? Yes. Delicious? Hell yes! PS is there anything better than good food and great friends? Thanks to @thebelletolls @brookester81 for a much needed fun afternoon and evening. . . . . . . . #fridaymood #foodblogfeed #foodieheaven #japanesefood #pizza #pizzalover #fusionfood #dohafoodies #dohaqatar #qatarrestaurants #wheretoeat #whattoeat #onmytable #onmyplate #eatfresh #eatfamous #beautifulcuisines #celebritychef #noleftovers #seafoodfeast #lifeonthewedge #qatarbloggers #food52 #forkyeah #ironchef
