OK, so you can’t travel?
Good news!! That does not keep you from world-class food experiences!
Meet friendly, hand-selected hosts for unique, immersive experiences without traveling an inch.
From the French «Madeleine» baking class with your professional pâtissier live from Paris, to the fun mixology workshop led by your very own expert mixologist live from London to share among friends. Or, an authentic Italian pasta-making session with local hosts in Rome!
One of the best things about traveling is trying out all the different local cuisines. Every place you go to has its unique flavors and ingredients, and there’s no better way to immerse yourself in a new culture than through its food. And while eating out at restaurants is always fun, there’s something extra special about coming back home and recreating those dishes in your own kitchen.
There’s just something about being able to relive those travel memories through cooking that brings a smile to my face. Whether it’s whipping up some homemade pasta after a trip to Italy or experimenting with spices and flavors after a trip to India, recreating those dishes in my own kitchen is like a mini-vacation all over again.
One of the first things I do after a trip is scour local markets and grocery stores for unique ingredients. I love discovering new spices, sauces, and produce that I’ve never seen before. And once I’ve stocked up on my finds, it’s time to get cooking.
I remember my first attempt at making pad Thai after a trip to Thailand. I was intimidated by the long list of ingredients and the unfamiliar techniques, but I dove in headfirst. And to my surprise, it turned out pretty darn good! Sure, it wasn’t quite as authentic as the street vendor’s version I had in Bangkok, but it was close enough to satisfy my craving and transport me back to the bustling streets of Thailand.
But it’s not just about recreating exact dishes. Sometimes it’s about taking inspiration from a place and putting your own spin on it. Maybe it’s using local ingredients to make a fusion dish or adding your own twist to a classic recipe. There are no rules when it comes to cooking, and that’s what makes it so fun.
And of course, sharing these dishes with friends and family is one of the best parts. I love inviting loved ones over for a homemade feast inspired by my travels. It’s a way to share a piece of my adventures with those closest to me and hopefully inspire them to travel and try new foods too.
So next time you’re on a trip, don’t forget to take note of the local cuisine and ingredients. And when you get back home, don’t be afraid to get creative in the kitchen. Who knows, you might just discover your new favorite recipe and create lasting memories with every bite.
