For many foodies, the art of cooking has evolved beyond a hobby and into a passion. Knowledge about what people are putting into their bodies, how it is being prepared, finding the best way to add the most nutrients that will excite your palate are topics of interest for many travelers.
Culinary tourism, or trips where you can watch cooking demonstrations and join interactive cooking classes, are all the rage. So, if you’re inspired to take your kitchen skills to new heights, start plotting your next food-focused getaway.
