Expand your ideas on cook travel

Added: 03/13/2006

Today, cooking and traveling suit each other like an apple and a pie. A number of travel agencies, which specialize in and properly develop cook travel directions, satisfy the needs and desires of potential customers and offer a wide array of culinary vacations. For many customers a cook travel has already become the best way to encounter the world's diversity and cultures, to meet new, like-minded people and to enhance cooking skills and mastery.

A cook travel is an opportunity to combine your lifetime hobby or career with lying in the sun, swimming in tender and warm waters, visiting restaurants and night clubs, attending historic and cultural sites, and generally, with all possible travel and leisure activities. A cook travel can be planned according to your intention to be a member of a vacation culinary school or to a regional cuisine and style, which you want to explore in-depth. The ideas for a cook travel are limited by your imagination only and here are some prompts to expand.


Seafood is a complex and many-sided aspect of cooking. Seafood abounds in varieties and each cook knows that seafood requires skills and knowledge. Why not visit locations, where seafood is a main menu item, such as Japan and Thailand? Beautiful, historically and culturally rich countries keep much in store for seafood lovers. If something prevents you from crossing the ocean, visit Nova Scotia seafood destinations. Nova Scotia, Canada, boasts a wonderful Seafood Cooking School, specializing in seafood cookery and wild food in the tradition of the French New World, covering Acadian, Creole and Cajun styles along with the basics of choosing, storing and cooking seafood. All that in addition to luxury accommodations, gourmet meals, local tours and an outdoor recreation, including canoes, kayaks, paddle boats, mountain bikes, outdoor hot tubs, nature and hiking trails make Nova Scotia a perfect cook travel destination.


Another vital aspect of cooking is spices; their flavors and aromas are capable of turning a simple dish into a culinary artifact, and although it seems quite easy to add chilly or cinnamon to your meals, there is a real art of the spices combination and usage. India is the world's only "home of spices", as there is no other country in the world, which produces and consumes so many spices than India.


Visit Greece, a country with rich and ancient culinary traditions and renowned restaurants. Unique tastes of the traditional Greek cuisine set Greece apart, while a cook travel through the country abounds in many culinary surprises. Note that Greece has a culinary tradition of some four thousand years and it was Archestratos in 330 B.C., who wrote the first cookbook in history. Another interesting fact is that the Greek word symposium, a word as ancient as the country itself, if translated literally means drinking with a company and for Greeks sharing meals with friends is a deeply rooted social affair. Moreover, many historians also consider Greece a motherland of a birthday cake, since they report that a birthday cake started, when the Greeks began to make honey cakes or bread.


What concerns a cook travel agency, foodvacation.com offers a number of original cook travel deals. The agency specializes in culinary and cultural travel experiences for small groups, usually from four to twelve persons, guided by professional tour leaders and culinary experts. Nova Scotia, Thailand, Rome, London, Costa Rica are featured among numerous cook travel destinations.
