Food

There’s a whole lot more to this “poo coffee” than meets the eye.

If you love food, like I do, Belarus won’t disappoint. Influenced largely by its Slavic roots, the cuisine here centres heavily on simple meat and vegetable dishes.

‘What did you eat?’ is what I was asked the most after returning from a road trip through the USA’s Deep South. My answer, of course, was ‘everything’.

Food experiences are far more meaningful than just pleasing your taste buds. Here’s why.

Move over beer, you’ve hogged the limelight too long when it comes to Czech cuisine.

Learning about local food, how to prepare it and learning simple and healthy ways to eat well were the key takeaways for me on this trip.

If you asked me to describe Hungarian cuisine in four words, it would have to be: good old comfort food. The sort that’s rich and delicious, and leaves you feeling all warm and fuzzy after eating it.

Where else are you going to eat a combination of Middle Eastern, Turkish, Russian and Korean influenced food, all in the one meal?

“I was keen for a local to show me a new side of a cuisine I thought I wasn’t keen on – to discover what Mexican food really is.”
