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…

  • Loved George egg's cookery demo. i just would have used the hotel's free plastic shower cap to cover the rising dough.
  • Can anyone recommend a cookery school in Tuscany?
  • Just heard a great story on NPR today about how Brit comedian George Egg cooks his meals away from home using standard hotel room amenities: coffeemaker, iron, even, believe it or not, the Gideon Bible. I think you foodies will get a real kick out of the video. Bon appétit!

  • I just read the Cairo blog and Tripatini's question below, which was, "How big a part of the travel experience is the cuisine for you?"
    This is a good question. The food is usually not a big part of traveling for me (although I love desserts!), but years ago we had mushroom soup in a local cafe in Padua, near Venice. I make mushroom soup with cream, but this one just had mushrooms, and more kinds of mushrooms than I had ever imagined. The soup was served in the shell of a round loaf of bread, and later we ate the bread until we were stuffed. This was the best soup I have ever eaten, and I would return to Padua for it.
  • I do not drink tequila, Hacienda Tres Rios, but I love this photograph !

  • Food is a major component of any trip. I remember a good restaurant as much as I do a great beach or an amazing sight.
  • Let's be honest here.

    Member Melissa Solin writes in her blog post on her trip Cairo that her favorite experience was the traditional Egyptian meal. In a country with pyramids, ruins, museums, and fascinating culture, that's a pretty strong statement (must've been one heck of a meal!).

    How "big" a part of the travel experience is the cuisine for you? Have you ever found yourself planning a trip because you yearn for Italian gelato? Or the most authentic pad thai?

    There's no shame, we all love food in this group, let's 'fess up!
