Food. Cuisine. Gastronomy. What better way to discover the soul of a country than through the local dishes? And in today’s hyper-connected world, there’s a beauty in taking the time on holiday to taste and savour the local flavours of the place you’re visiting. In a recent Skift article on food tourism, they’ve cited this trend as showing no sign of waning: ‘Local cuisine provides a direct connection to the history of a region, the soul of its people, and the rhythm of daily life.’
