Recipe for Travel: A Travel Lover's Food Companion...
...or a food lover's travel companion!
Bringing together culture, cuisine, cooking tips, recipes and travel information, the Recipe for Travel seeks to intrigue, inspire and inform those with a healthy appetite for exploring other cultures and cuisines.
Born of this culinary xenophile's own passion for cooking, eating, traveling and writing, along with firsthand experience in markets, restaurants and kitchens dotting the globe, recipe-for-travel.com aims to take you on a tour of the world and its cuisines.
Become a culinary explorer and quench your curiosity with:
- An Around the World Travel Guide -- travel tips and online trip planning resources for designing your own Recipe for Travel, based on a two-year round-the-world adventure that started as a short vacation. You'll find official travel and tourism resources and information about ecotourism, and tips for developing a financial plan that serves more than mere 'budget travel' needs
- A Travel Lover's Food Companion -- information, anecdotes and articles about food from around the world, with stop-overs in Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, Vietnam, Australia, Mexico and Canada. The World Food Companion will expand over time to represent a truly multi-continental culinary tour of the world
- A Recipe Box -- unique international recipes, cooking tips, cookbooks and food guides. The Recipe Box is full of the flavours and creative cooking techniques you can use in your own kitchen to reproduce your favourite foods from around the world, from Korean Barbecue recipes to Ostrich grilled with traditional Vietnamese food ingredients, to Mexican Chile Rellenos with turkey!
A true xenophile will want to savour the full menu of the world's gastronomies and cultural offerings, a journey that would take several lifetimes to experience and share -- so, where to begin?
In keeping with my fickle nature and to satisfy the xenophile's appetite, The Recipe for Travel's menu will change often. Destinations will be added to the itinerary and each country's menu of dishes will expand over time; you'll also find great gift ideas for the culinary artist, traveler and xenophile in the sections on cookbooks, recipes and travel guides, just in time for special occasions like Mothers Day, Fathers Day, Christmas, birthdays and graduations.
Whether you're ready to book a round-the-world ticket or planning a beach holiday, a cooking school vacation or a trip to your local Chinatown or Asian market for tonight's menu, The Recipe for Travel will help you map out your journey. Plan your return trip and visit often.
