Tell me what you eat and I'll tell you who you are

Is there an experience that can be appreciated by all the cultures of the world? The answer is simple: food. All of us need to nourish ourselves but over the centuries with the progress of civilizations, food has turned from a vital element to survive into a stimulus to invent many ways and styles to prepare it.

From the primitive man who accidentally discovered that meat is perhaps better cooked, it has been made much progress in the field of gastronomy! A popular saying that reads "tell me what you eat and I'll tell you who you are", is very truthful. Above all, the true traveler knows what we are talking about.

I speak naturally of the traveler who loves to immerse himself in the culture of the country he visits. Savor local dishes, understand how and why a people feeds in a certain way reveals many things and helps us to get better in the daily life of a certain country.

For this reason to those who ask me to enrich their trip with a special experience I always check if with Eatwith I can find a situation that could be the solution to this request.

Every time I discover a world of delights and intercultural exchange!

Locals open their homes to share knowledge about local food and culture. In addition to savoring great food, you spend your time in a pleasant way, like being at dinner with friends.

Otherwise you participate in a cooking class but much more fun than a classic one. A good dish arises from the choice of fresh and quality ingredients, and a skill consists in knowing how to recognize them.

In all the countries of the world these ingredients are found in popular markets, teeming with people who sell and buy anything, a picturesque place where all the senses are involved. Admire not only the abundance and variety of products but the beautiful humanity that animates them, which reveals the spirit of the place, with its customs and traditions.

The cooking class also includes visits to these markets and the purchase of ingredients that will serve to prepare the typical dish of the place. Once you get home, you learn to cook a local dish and eat all together. Here is a 360 ° culinary experience that does not only satisfy the palate but also the spirit of the true traveler!
