Food

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.”

We’ve collated a list of must-have foodie experiences. They’re a little different, they’re culturally immersive, and they’re all available on our food trips.

“Before I went to Russia myself, the extent of my experience with Russian cuisine was pretty much relegated to the stereotypical visions of borscht, caviar and vodka; the stuff that 1980’s Cold War spy movies are made of.”

Before heading to Turkey, I had no idea of the food that awaited me. In fact, my knowledge of the local gastronomy was limited to Turkish Delight and assumptions about its similarity to Greek cuisine. Boy, was I mistaken.

Sweet, spicy, sour and saucy. There’s no list of adjectives long enough to describe the abundance of flavours awaiting you in Indonesia.
