How Princess Cruises is servIng up innovative dining

    The exclusive dining experience on the Princess Discovery is unlike any other I have been a part of during my travels. "360: An Extraordinary Experience" is dining immersion making one feel like you’re sitting in the Greek countryside with olive trees or smelling the fragrance of lavender in the south of France. Thanks to Princess Cruises, I savored this time with fellow bloggers. I immediately became captivated with the experience when I heard beautiful music played by two violinists and…

Bon appétit, Seychelles-style

MelanieMaya This archipelago´s cuisine blends various aspects of French, Chinese, Indian and African influences, and not surprisingly, seafood – fish, octopus (above) and shellfish – plays a major role.  Spices that abound here include coriander, ginger, and lemongrass, and other common elements include coconut milk and fruit like tamarind and papaya. Seafood is prepared baked, curried, grilled, salted, smoked, steamed, and wrapped in banana leaves, and invariably served with rice. One…

9 top restaurants & chefs on the Caribbean island of Nevis

  Photos: Timothy Leland, except where noted Visiting tiny Nevis - just 36 square miles - is treat enough, with its ravishing nature, pristine beaches, friendly, laid back locals and charming inns (including several in centuries-old former sugar plantations). But it´s also packed with 40 or so of some of the finest restaurants anywhere, with food from local farm-to-table and sea-to-table found on culturally diversified menus on a par to what you might find in some of the world´s culinary…

  • Please click here to help a member with a question on cookery weekends. Thanks!
  • One last Venetian query: Does anyone know a good place to enjoy the cicchetti bar snacks that are popular in Venice?
  • Any opinions on a really authentic (not tourist rip-off) pizza place in Naples? ALSO authentic places to eat in Venice. Any food tours or must-see markets in either?
  • Guidebooks often call Ristorante Corte Sconta the best fish restaurant in Venice. My brother, who travels more than most travel writers and cooks better than most chefs, is just back from a vacation in the Mediterranean. He says "best in Venice" is beside the point; he insists it's the best fish restaurant on earth. Your thoughts?
  • It's Cocktail Hour time at The World on Wheels. Today, it's a couple of cool Belgian beauties on the patio: http://tinyurl.com/2bq8oao

    An ongoing adventure of travel and living while using a wheelchair. Tim has been disabled from birth. Darryl is his father and caregiver who travel…
  • I'm surprised the iron wasn't scorched brown. Did the flour protect it?

    Everyone else: It is hilarious, as Jose says. Sally, you asked an important question.
  • Or can George Egg make panini with the trouser press?
  • Hilarious! But can he make croissants with a hair dryer?

    Seriously, what George Egg does in the video below is amazing, but personally, when I travel, I'd rather sample the local cuisine. Has anyone else on here tried serious cooking in their hotel room?
  • Thanks so much Laura, I will be in touch.

  • Hi Sally - we offer a number of cooking class vacations in Tuscany - each is geared to provide a different experience depending on your needs/desires and the number of people traveling. One is set just outside of Florence and is very hands-on and all inclusive. Another is set in the charming walled-town of Lucca - 3 hands-on classes with more free time - perfect for those who have been to Florence and want a convenient base from which to explore Tuscany. The third is set in the village of Panzano in Chianti - 3 hands-on classes and lots of free time - true Tuscany and a spot where you are likely to be one of the only non-locals in town. This location is better for those who like to drive and explore on their own. I am happy to send you detailed information on these options if you are interested. You can reach me on lhaltzel@culinaryquests.com. I look forward to hearing from you!
