What’s one of the best things about travelling? Tasting amazing local food and drinks of course! Getting a taste for a destination through trying one of their traditional dishes is the perfect way to immerse yourself in a new culture and bring home memories, new recipes (and potentially a few extra kg’s) to always remember your time away.
Italy is a country known for it’s delicious food – pasta, pizza, arancini, parmigiana, salsiccia – the list goes on (and that’s not including desserts)! There are many ways to feed your inner foodie – eating at local restaurants, visiting food markets or attending a cooking class. It’s definitely a great way to add a new dimension to your trip and help give you some local insight.
For all you avid food connoisseurs out there – did you know you can turn your passion into a complete adventure?
Tantalise your taste buds and take off on the Intrepid Real Food Adventure – Italy or Real Food Adventure – South Italy and completely immerse yourself in the traditional Italian cuisine and all it has to offer. Learn to cook traditional meals, discover where the passion of food and cooking came from and most of all be inspired. If you want to fit your local food experiences into your own travel plans, then an Urban Adventures day tour will still give you an authentic tasting experience of Italy.
