Yangshuo Cooking School A Culinary Delight in China
It wasn’t something we would normally sign up for when traveling. We’ve been all over the word and while we enjoy eating food, we had never thought of learning how to cook it.
Walking Amman
It was an incredible 10 days in Jordan and it started off right with our stay at the luxurious Four Seasons Amman. Upon our return, we were eager to see how people lived in Jordan’s largest city.
Traditional Creole Cooking of The Seychelles
The Seychelles islands are known for their Creole cooking. And there’s good reason for that. From freshly caught fish, to locally grown fruit, from spicy curries to sweet fried bananas and Salted Fish Rougay there is something here for every taste bud and palate.
Sichuan Hot Pot, A Sizzling Night out in China
One of the most exciting meals we have had during our travels is the Chinese hot pot in Sichuan Province. Known as the province of flavour, Sichuan is famous for it’s over the top spices. We hopped in a taxi with our hand written directions in Mandarin guiding our driver to the neighbourhood Hot Pot restaurant where the festivities began. Dining moves fast in China and within minutes the hot pot spicy water was sizzling while meat and vegetables made their way into the room in endless supply.
Why We Love McDonalds in France
How can you love McDonalds in France? It is a country renowned for its rich cuisine and fine wine. Stepping foot in a McDonalds is like thumbing your nose at the French heritage. There is nothing that we love more than sitting in an outdoor cafe, drinking wine and sampling rich cheeses and cured meats. Like the French, we have a love affair with their food. We couldn’t wait to peruse the menu of a restaurant and choose something mouth wateringly delicious. The prix fix menus were our saviour as we could sample a few dishes at a time. Oh yes, we loved eating in France. So Why McDonalds
Dining in the Dark
There is a very cool restaurant in Toronto, Canada that we had no idea about until we went on a little getaway to Montreal! Are you looking for a different dining experience? Are you wanting to add a little adventure to your eating?Oh Noir is just the place for you.Located in the heart of Toronto on the Corner of Church Street and Charles, O Noir is a restaurant that is completely in the dark.When we say in the dark, we mean in the dark.
Eight Great Eats in Kathmandu
One thing that we absolutely loved when we arrived at Kathmandu, Nepal was the variety of food. Once you have spent weeks eating Dal Baht (Traditional Nepalese Dish) while climbing to Mount Everest Base Camp or trekking around the Annapurna Region, it is heaven to be able to arrive back in Kathmandu and sample all the international cuisine. Here is a list of the best places we ate at in Kathmandu.
New York Dining- Bring your Credit Card
There are some places you can afford to go as a budget traveler, for everything else there’s CREDIT CARDS! New York, we love you. You help to keep us skinny!
A Detour to Italy’s Riviera. A Treat for the Taste Buds
We couldn’t waste any more time relaxing on the beach and we had to get ourselves to the Cinque Terra in Italy. It is a beautiful piece of the Mediterranean where one can walk and hike along a gorgeous path on the coast. The minute we entered Italy we fell in love with it. The language is music to my ears, the food is heaven to the taste buds and the people are friendly and passionate.
Clabrian Olive Oil Giveaway at My Bella Vita
There is a delicious contest going on at My Bella Vita and we couldn’t resist taking part. Meet Monica Kripalani, a new distributor of Calabrian olive oil. She is the owner of Monica’s Fine Foods where she is sharing her love of Davoli Olive Oil with North America. Monica is giving away one 250ml bottle of Davoli Extra Virgin Olive Oil to one lucky Facebook Fan *and* a $50 gift certificate to a random blogger.
Canada’s Lack of Cultural Food Identity
One of the things that we are most looking forward to here in India is sampling the food. We have already enjoyed delicious meals of Masala, Palak Paneer and Dosai. Indian food has incredible flavour. As you read this, we are on a house boat cruising the backwaters of Kerala with our own private chef cooking the best of what India has to offer. The other night our hosts at Skylark Guest house in Varkala cooked us a traditional Kerala meal and it was incredible. We have only been in India a week so we really cannot write a blog post about food yet. We aren’t experts and don’t know a lot about the cuisine of this country yet.
Things we Take For Granted at Home, but Miss Desperately While Traveling
Since we are leaving soon, I have been taking stalk of what I truly take for granted while I am at home in my comfortable apartment. It amazes me how the little things here can mean so much while I am on the road and I cannot fool myself into thinking that travel is glamorous.
Favorite Food From Traveling the World, So Far
One of the best things about traveling is food. Dave and I seem to plan our days around our meals. We wake up in the morning and while we are eating our breakfast, we discuss what we are going to have and where we are going to go for dinner. We love food. Food makes us happy. And when we discover new and delicious food, well, we are in heaven.
