What is your first move when visiting a new city or country? Do you like to check out the local museums, sample the local cuisine, or go sight-seeing to the most notable attractions that your destination has to offer?
It’s undeniable that there are tons of things for travelers to do when visiting a new place, but for those of us who love eating, cooking, and exploring local gastronomy, there’s a new travel trend that’s a must: cooking classes.
Over the past few years, more and more companies and private individuals have set up experiences for visitors that place them in the middle of a kitchen, learning to make local foods and exploring the local cuisine.
Normally, a local chef or a normal individual who loves cooking hosts these experiences, showing off how to make the food that they have grown up preparing and eating. The stories told and the expertise shared will make memories that will last a lifetime.
Whether it’s learning to make couscous in Morocco, learning to perfectly craft sushi in Tokyo, or learning the secrets of mole sauce in Oaxaca, Mexico, these experiences will provide you something that you can use in the future and that you will never forget.
Be sure to check out the local cooking experiences the next time you go on vacation to a new place!
