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…

    How do we find good food while on the road?  At The World on Wheels, we don't rely on random restaurants but actively look for places to eat that won't let us down.  Check out some of our techniques in today's well-illustrated report: http://tinyurl.com/2uz8cer

    Three years ago, Paul Bocuse mentioned to Thomas Keller that Americans were starting to take food more seriously. He solicited Keller's help in getting competition for Bocuse d'Or from the US. The American's came in 6th in 2009. Given the amount of time spent preparing and practicing, it was a good showing. I'll be in Lyon covering Bocuse d'Or in January 2011 along with the other food competitions, and it will be interesting to see if we move up at all. I hope so. In any case, we are coming along slowly.

    I think the additions of Locovore and farmers markets are another indication of change. It just will take time.

    Is it any wonder why we have so many chain restaurants?  You can eat exactly the same food all over the US and many people love that.  They prefer the known to the local eateries.  I think sad, but true.

    Sam, I read those same numbers. Your friend probably got them from a report about a survey that was on eTurbo News, a travel newsletter.
  • Sam Scribe December 28, 2010 at 2:09am
    Jean, I got these numbers from a friend who writes guidebooks. Marilyn, your point about the growing trend with culinary tourism is quite true, but I can't help wonder what these numbers would be like if there were no Food Channel and Rachel Ray. Would only 1/3 of Americans be willing to try new things?
  • Maralyn D Hill December 28, 2010 at 1:11am
    In re-reading your post, the fact that 2/3 are willing to experience speaks to the growing trend with culinary tourism.
