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.

Talking turkey... Tomorrow our American friends celebrate thanksgiving. That means good friends, good food and stretchy pants. @cutdoha @mondrian_doha mondrian_doha Is offering a three course thanksgiving dinner for QR350 and that includes a choice of starters (my tip - go for the celeriac tortellini in chicken broth). The main event is an actual individual platter of perfectly cooked 🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃(white and dark meat) plus ALL the sides (don’t miss the cornbread with maple butter). You can finish it off with pumpkin pie. The entire dinner is luxe, a bit traditional and a bit edgy all at once. Im not American but if thanksgiving food is always this good, I’m in. . . . . . #darlingweekend #thanksgiving #turkey #turkeyday #beautifulcuisines #givingthanks #happythanksgivng #dohafoodies #devourpower #momentsofmine #allthesides #turkeystagram #foodiechats #qatarinstagram #mondrian #wolfgangpuck #friendsgiving #onmyplate #whatsonmyplate #wheretofindme #holidayspirit #lifeonthewedge #fallfood

Winter vibes... Holding out for that promised much cooler weather later this week - then maybe a quick trip to the desert for the weekend. This really is the perfect time to be in #Qatar or to visit. . . . . . #darlingweekend #visitqatar #momentsofmine #desert #winteriscoming #alenna #traveltheworld #traveltuesday #rollwithus #dunebashing #qatarairways #beautifuldestinations #traveldeeper #butfirstcoffee #lifeonthewedge #doyoutravel #goexplore #wonderfulplaces #openmyworld #qatarinstagram #camping #officefortheday #postcardsfromtheworld #optoutside #theviewfromhere #theviewfromuphere #wheretonext #wheretofindme #ipulledoverforthis

Avo a look at this... This all vegan avocado toast (with cashew nut cheese - tastes delicious! Who knew?) on flatbread by @evergreen_kitchen was one of the stars of @farmersmarketqa last weekend. @evergreen_organics has been at the vanguard of championing vegan food in Qatar - something that has really gained traction this year. For my (not entirely serious) look at the food trends that swept Qatar in 2018, click the link in my bio. Also, let me know what food trends you lived and loathed this year in the comments below. . . . . . . . #darlingweekend #beautifulcuisines #devourpower #momentsofmine #avotoast #smashedavo #vegan #veganfood #evergreenorganics #farmersmarket #foodtrends #foodilysm #foodiefeature #foodiesofinstagram #lifeonthewedge #dohafoodies #qatarbloggers #farmersmarket #farmfresh #farmtotable #eatclean #vegancheese #veganfoodspot #qatarlife #foodieforlife

They see me rollin... This perfect formation of maki and sushi rolls was the best way to start to brunch on Friday. @crowneplazadohabp has revamped their Get Social brunch and there is a lot to like about it. Fresh sushi, Brazilian churrasco served tableside, BBQ seafood and lush Indian curries. It was almost a shame to ruin this presentation....but s gal has to eat! . . . . . #sushi #sushi🍣 #sushitime #ihgfoodie #dohabrunch #timeoutdoha #weekendbrunch #patterns #foodasart #foodiesofinstagram #foodiefest #eatingout #colorsoflife #qatar #qatarbloggers #lifeonthewedge #bestplacestogo #foodiesofinstagram #japanesefood #crowneplaza #luxe #beautifulcuisines #devourpower #rollwithus #momentsofmine #darlingweekend

Farm fresh... This foodie is happy to see the return of @farmersmarketqa this weekend. Highlights of my early morning trip yesterday were fresh cinnamon buns from @milkathehappybaker Turkish pastries from @turkishfoodinqatar vegan avo toast from @evergreen_kitchen and coffee from @naturestreasuresqatar And the gardener in me couldn’t resist these seedling to kick start my winter garden. It’s open again today from 8am and every weekend for the next few months. . . . . . . #farmersmarket #organic #lifeonthewedge #momentsofmine #gardening #farmfresh #farmtotable #visitqatar #torbafarmersmarket #qatarliving #sustainability #qatarlife #qatarinstagram #foodiesofinstagram #foodblogfeed #eatfresh #thingstodo #farmtofork #organicfood #dohafoodies #dohaevents

Let’s taco about... The new menu @hudsontaverndoha @mondrian_doha Revamped and extended, there are now more options - including the happy return of these crunchy and spicy fish tacos. There are also new burgers, Korean style bulgogi, and of course, more tacos! I love this place - its chilled, has great food and service. . . . . . . #fishtacos #tacos #lifeonthewedge #tacos🌮 #weekendvibes #mondrian #sportsbar #foodwithfriends #fishtacos #comfortfood #newmenu #foodie_features #devourpower #beautifulcuisines #dohafoodies #foodblogfeed #foodbloggerlife #mexicanfood #americanbar #qatarrestaurants #wheretofindme #eatguide #eater #spicyfood #weekendtime #eattheworld

Explore more... It’s the weekend and I hope you get the chance to explore your own backyard, or further afield. This beautiful spot is just an hour and a bit from my home in Doha... What are your plans this weekend? . . . . . #visitqatar #exploremore #lifeonthewedge #momentsofmine #exploretocreate #desert #sanddunes #qatar #goexplore #forbestravelguide #openmyworld #weekendtrip #desertsafari #sunset_pics #adventurethatislife #seemycity #seemyqatar #qatartourism #thattravelblog #girlswhotravel #theworldshotz #beautifuldestinations #passionpassport #nopassportrequired #adventureawaits #dohaqatar #qatarlife

Flexing my mussels... This soup from the menu at Filipino restaurant @maxsrestaurantme was memorable for all the right reasons. A delicate broth, a little sour but also fresh, it was packed with mussels, veggies and herbs. Thanks to @lets_get_laud and @filipinovloggersinqatar for the introduction! Have you tried Filipino food? What’s your favorite dish? . . . . . . #filipinofood #pinoyfood #foodiesofinstagram #maxsrestaurant #filipinocuisine #mussels #seafoodsoup #bestplacestogo #storyofmytable #dohafoodies #lifeonthewedge #eatingfortheinsta #filipino #tryingsomethingnew #wheretoeat #qatarrestaurants #eatguide #foodilysm #trynewthings #qatarlife #qatarliving

Breakfast with a view... This #traveltuesday is dedicated to one of my favorite things about traveling - hotel breakfasts. Where it’s a buffet or a room service delivery like this plate of eggs Benedict and more from my recent stay @crowneplazadohawb (more of that soon), there is something decadent about them. What’s the best hotel breakfast you have had? . . . . . . . #hotelbreakfast #breakfastideas #breakfastlovers #roomwithaview #crowneplaza #eggsbenedict #roomservice #visitqatar #beautifulcuisines #beautifuldestinations #qatarblogger #theviewfromhere #luxuryhotel #ihgfoodie #ihgambassador #visitdoha #lifeonthewedge #doyouknowtheway #doyoutravel #thatfoodfeed #thattravelblog #hotellife #hotelliving #cityliving #hotelstay #staycation #momentsofmine #onmyplate

Pleased to Sashimi... The Saturday Sushi Omakase @nobudoha is for hard core sushi fans. 13 types of sushi, three appetizers, soup and dessert for QR600. And with deliveries of fish coming weekly, no two weeks are the same. Plus you get to sit at the sushi counter and be in the thick of the action. . . . . . . #qatarblogger #instaeat #alwayshungry #beautifulcuisines #sushi #sushi🍣 #japanesefood #japanesesushi #nobu #dohafoodies #qatarrestaurants #qatarlife #sushicounter #instasushi #instafoodporn #eatfamous #foodiesofinstagram #wheretofindme #luxurydining #foodieheaven #sashimi #omakase #rawfoods #foodilysm #sharemyfs #chefschoice

Heart is where the hummus is... @baladnapark is open for the season and it’s a great chance to try their restaurant which serves up fresh food using ingredients form the farm. It’s an interesting menu including this mango hummus (don’t knock it until you try it!) and potato and meat kibbeh. You can also pick up some of their goodies to take home / well worth a quick day trip. Have you been to @baladnaco yet? . . . . . #foodiesofinstagram #bestplacestogo #visitqatar #hummus #arabicfood #farmtotable #eatfresh #farmfresh #wheretofindme #qatarrestaurants #dohafoodies #lifeonthewedge #farmersmarket #kibbeh #baladna #wheretogo #traveldeeper #daytrip #roadtrip #instabreakfast #instafoodgasm #beautifulcuisines #instaeat #hummusaddict #alwayshungry #qatarblogger

Just brew it... Sometimes you find surprising places in unexpected locations. @espressolabqa is one of those places. Located tucked away in a far corner of City Centre on the second floor you can expect: ✅ great coffee ✅ relaxed and unpretentious vibe ✅ engaged staff ✅sandwiches and cakes made fresh ✅ well placed and plentiful power outlets I rbi knit might be the real deal and a reason to go to City Centre again. . . . . . . . #butfirstcoffee #bestplacestogo #foodiesofinstagram #coffeetime #flatwhite #coffeeshop #newopening #espressolab #wheretofindme #cafestagram #holdyourmoments #dohafoodies #eatdessertfirst #qatarcafes #caffeineaddict #beautifulcuisines #gloobyfood #foodiechats #onmytable #qatarbloggers #lifeonthewedge #coffeegasm #turkishcoffee #dohalife #coffeeshopsoftheworld
