Inflight dining: from design to seatback tray

  Admittedly, inflight dining has not gotten a lot of love over much of the course of commercial aviation's history. Actually, early in that history, in the 1930s, multi-course meals were cooked onboard. However, as the postwar demand for flights took off in the 1950’s and 60’s and aircraft sizes (and therefore passenger numbers on each flight) grew, this soon proved impractical, and the complexity of cooking for hundreds of passengers in a tight space within a limited time frame prompted…

Vegan travel is now a thing, and here's how to do it

FotografiaBasicaWhen I first started traveling, finding vegan (or even vegetarian) options abroad was fairly tough except in place with, for example, a wisespread Buddhist culture. But with the explosion in the numbers of vegetarians around the world, now there are not only more restaurants offering options or even wholly devoted to them, but there are specially curated vegan menus at luxury hotel chains, vegan adventure holiday operators, and even relaxing cruelty-free resorts. The UK website…

    Muy interesante. Hace anos escribi un articulo sobre "The Toledo Cacao Growers Association" durante mi visito al Cotton Tree Lodge.

    More attention is being focused on the earliest hub of chocolate production - since Mayan times - in Belize, where visitors can enjoy tours of artisan chocolate makers as well as chocolate-themed programs by local resorts and restaurants. Here's a look, courtesy of the BBC: https://www.bbc.com/travel/article/20220522-belize-the-worlds-true-...

    When I lived in Miami, a number of my friends and acquaintances would head for vacations in Asheville (two couples even owned properties there), which is an oasis of blue, progressivism, and gay-friendliness in a state that despite having a Democratic governor still tilts too rightwing for my taste. But I digress - Asheville is known for its shopping, entertainment, and dining, and USA Today recently came out with a list of the town's ten best restaurants: https://www.10best.com/interests/food-travel/best-restaurants-ashev...

    Is Thailand's Thai Pass entry system fraught with corruption? Many new claims from tourists of being posted to extremely expensive hotels following false DR reports of covid 19 positive tests. The quarantine is in your room! Some of these hotels had no food service. The quarantine of 14 days makes your stay an overstay and before leaving you will have penalties to pay. We'll wait and see if Thailand's attempt to fleece the tourist continues or evolves. Chef LeeZ cooking class Bangkok is T. A, #1 for over 10 consecutive years. www.chefleez.com

    Food Fans Can Flock To France

    United Press International, September 27, 1987
    NEW YORK -- This Thanksgiving -- from Nov. 22 through 28 -- the World Festival of Bonne Cuisine will debut in Lyon, France. The festival will be a full week of special events and haute cuisine prepared by some of the world`s most famous chefs. Headed by world renowned chef Paul Bocuse, the committee planning the festival reads like a culinary "Who`s Who," including chefs from the United States, France and Japan. Among those attending are noted American food authority Julia Child; Alice Waters, owner of Chez Panisse in Berkley, Calif.

    Anyone know if Bocuse influenced Alice Waters, who changed Western cuisine so much?
