 Food Tour

Exploring other cultures through food is an easy and simple way to experience other places and people. We all eat, we all must eat. Food and food processes are unique to local resources, climate and needs. Popular dishes can reveal cultural secrets.

What we eat becomes a part of who we are. Traditional cuisine is passed down from one generation to the next. It also operates as an expression of cultural identity. Each country or community’s unique cuisine can reflect its unique history, lifestyle, values, and beliefs.

One of my favorite things to do anywhere in the world we go is try and eat local food. We stray off the beaten path looking for a place that locals go to and hang out.

Get adventurous. Be bold. Research recipes or ask someone you know about local culture dishes.

Host a dinner around the world evening with friends. You can choose to do a smorgasbord of dishes from each person culture or region or pick a country and each person assigned an appetizer, main dish, sides dishes or dessert.

Or just host your own dinner trying out recipes from a country or region that you are interested in.

We should embrace our heritage through our culture’s food but we should also become more informed about other cultures by trying their foods.

Pick a country or region

 Learn about the place through preparing and enjoying traditional recipes.
