]]> You don’t have to be a certified foodie to realize that food and travel go hand in hand. Enjoying a local dish is almost always the best way to experience a different culture and understanding better its history and tradition. Alexandria Drzazgowski understands this intuitively. The founder and recipe developer behind travel and food blog The Foreign Fork, she offers her audience a taste of the world through the kitchen.

The idea is simple: cooking one meal from every country in the world in alphabetical order. “Every two weeks I’ll start a new country and I’ll start off by giving an in-depth view of the country,” she further explained in an interview with Eat Blog Talk. “So I’ll get fun facts and I’ll give an overview of the history. I’ll talk a little bit about the food culture and the flavors that are normally incorporated into the food in that country. I’ll also just give any other relevant information that might not go into those specific categories.”

After some initial background research comes the main dish. Depending on the country, she’ll share two to five recipes from that country over the next two weeks. “I try to do a main dish and an appetizer, and I always try to do a dessert because I love dessert,” says Drzazgowski. “So I’ll feature some food from that country.”

Like most food blogs, The Foreign Fork began as a passion project. After spending her final semester abroad, Drzazgowski backpacked across Europe. During her time across the ocean, she visited 15 countries in 18 weeks. Her favorite thing to explore in each and every one of them? Food.

“I’ve always loved cooking and baking, but when I was abroad, my love transformed into a border-line obsession,” she admits on her website. “I took countless cooking classes and food tours, I visited every local market I could find, and I would spend hours before dinner researching which restaurant would provide the most authentic experience.” Having returned to Michigan, she decided to keep her passion alive through the kitchen. Hence The Foreign Fork came to be.

With almost 200 countries behind her, Drzazgowski’s hobby has long outgrown its humble beginnings. And though she admits to being an amateur when it comes to cooking, her inquisitiveness makes up for it. “When I’m actually starting to cook from a country, I definitely do a lot of research,” she stresses in the interview. “It’s really important to be representing the culture of the country that you’re cooking in an accurate light and making sure that you’re doing it correctly. So I spend a lot of time doing research before I cook for my country.”

What is your favorite pasta? I know it is hard to pick just one!⁣ ⁣ One of my favorites is Penne Puttanesca. While we were in Italy we saw a cooking demonstration from Marco Martini, a chef from Stazione di Posta in Rome. His restaurant is Michelin-starred, you can find a few tips and see a picture of his version in the recipe on Compass & Fork.⁣ ⁣ There is also a story behind this recipe. If you research the history of Puttanesca, it seems it was a favorite of “working girls” if you get my drift, who wanted something quick and could be made form pantry staples. So don't worry too much if you don't have the proper ingredients, it is quite flexible.⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #healthyrecipes #healthycuisines #youarewhatyoueat #foodietravel #compassandfork #foodpicoftheday #foodlovers #commontable #onmytable #tastemade #yahoofood #heresmyfood #realsimple #cntravelereats #foodielife #goodeating #traveleats #foodforfoodies #foodaroundtheworld #foodadventures #foodtravel #foodtraveller #foodietribe #bestfoodworld #tastetheworld #travelingfoodie #travelforfood #lonelyplanetfood #worldnomads #pasta

Run by food and travel bloggers Mark and Elizabeth Rudd, the online platform provides the perfect combination of travel and food—with tips, reviews and even recipes dedicated to their travels abroad. Having travelled to over 50 countries—and worked in about 10—the seasoned couple knows what makes or breaks a vacation.

“One of the ways we learn about a place is through food,” they explain on their website, “so that is a large focus when we travel, but we also enjoy getting to know the culture, so we will share what we learn—real food, real people, and real travel stories”.

Mark and Elizabeth follow their guts when it comes to travel. Their online website, Compass & Fork, offers great recipes, destination recommendations, and travel tips that are well put together.

As an important trading port, many new flavors and dishes were brought in by sea. If you love finding great food when you travel- you shouldn't miss Hoi An!

]]> Food and travel go hand-in-hand. A country’s food isn’t just a source of energy—it’s an ode to its culture, land, and people. You can better experience exactly what a place has to offer by tasting its food. As travel and food blogger Janine Thomas puts it: when you put food and traveling together, it’s a marriage made in heaven.

The mastermind behind the travel blog with the catchy name Gastrotravelogue, Thomas dedicates her travel to the local dishes and cuisines—eating her way around the world.

Her blog posts and accompanying Instagram photos are very much envy-inducing, with her travels taking her to some exotic destinations such as Zanzibar and Koh Phi Phi island.⁠ But when it comes to the actual food, Thomas admits Vietnam is probably one of her favorite destinations.

“There are still French influences to be found like in the classics like Bánh mì, which is a crispy baguette filled with delicious pate, roasted meat and crunchy fresh salad,” she relayed in an interview with Travel Awaits. “Each bite is heavenly. Another favorite is Vietnamese spring rolls, with a lattice-like rice paper wrapper, deep fried to puff up, surrounding a taste explosion inside. Yum!”

Her advice to other travelers? Take your time when you plan a trip. “It makes such a difference when you arrive at an airport and don’t have to dither around trying to get to your destination,” she stresses. “I know so many people who have an argument at that point, and it’s not a great way to start a holiday.”

]]> Anyone who’s ever tried being vegan while traveling knows that this kind of adventure requires a lot of dedication and organization. These are some of our tips you should be aware of before you hit the road again.

Find Accommodation With Kitchen

One of the best tips for vegan travel is to book accommodation that has a nice kitchen you can use. This will make your trip so much easier, because you’ll be able to prep all your meals for the day here.

Shop At The Farmer’s Market

Find the nearest farmer’s market, where you can buy tasty and fresh products that are usually much cheaper here than in a supermarket. This is also a good chance to meet local people and experience new culture.

Apps

Finding a good vegan restaurant can be pretty challenging, especially when you’re in a foreign country. However, there are a number of cool apps—such as Happy Cow or Vegaholic—that can help you find great vegan restaurants around the world based on your likes and preferences, and you can even find helpful reviews here.

]]> Nicole Fung’s love of food is interwoven with her love of travel. The co-founder of food, travel, and lifestyle platform That Food Cray !!!, Fung initially launched the online platform as a way of documenting her travels.

“That Food Cray !!! started as a passion project,” she relayed in an interview with Suitcase Magazine. “When I first started writing, I honestly wasn’t expecting anyone to read it. I had just moved to Hong Kong from Canada and wanted to document my travels as well as everything I ate along the way.”

But what began as an outlet to express her love for food and her adventures has turned over the years into a global brand with over 90k fans on Instagram alone. Alongside her husband Eugene Kan, Fung now shares her unique food experiences with others, both in Hong Kong and elsewhere.

Her goal is to eat outside the box, and she encourages her followers to do the same. “My family is from Hong Kong, so I’ve always felt a connection to the city,” says the Chinese Canadian blogger, who now lives in Hong Kong.

“It was my second home; now it is home. Hong Kong is a very transient place and is extremely multi-cultural. There are people from all over the world, which makes the food selection very diverse. You can find everything from classic French to halal Chinese food.”

]]> London-based foodie and BBC presenter Leyla Kazim knows a good meal when she tastes one. The founder of food and travel blog The Cutlery Chronicles, Kazim shares her global culinary stories as she travels around the world (when traveling is permitted, that is).

Inspired by the exceptional cooking she was brought up with by her Mauritian mother and Turkish-Cypriot father, Kazim appreciates the huge range of flavors available in the culinary world, as she actively seeks them out.

Her passion for food resulted in a road trip around the world in 2015 which ended up as a Lonely Planet’s book: The Ultimate Eatlist, The World’s Top 500 Food Experiences (2018).

“What inspires me to create content is what inspires me in life,” she recently shared in an interview with Mother Tongue, “broadening my horizons with travel, appreciating the beauty of this planet and its people, experiencing things I haven’t before, and exploring cuisines from around the world.

“I’m on one big journey myself, saying yes to as many opportunities as I can, and seeing where they take me,” adds Kazim. “A big part of travel for me is quashing pre-conceptions, and fully immersing myself in new cultures. It’s sharing these experiences, and hoping they might ignite a sense of adventure in others, that inspires me to create content.”

And while most of us won’t be able to travel the world for quite a while, scrolling through Kazim’s Instagram page is a reminder that good things (and more importantly – tasty things) are yet to come!

]]> Fried chicken and waffles have been a classic dish of American cuisine for years, but this traditional dish got a whole new spin to it by Chick N Cone.

Instead of using classic bone-in chicken, Chick N Cone coats tender, boneless chicken breast pieces with a delicious panic breadcrumb coating. The pieces are fried until crispy and chopped into bite sized pieces. That already sounds delicious enough, but Chick N Cone takes it to the next level by tossing the chicken in homemade sauce and stuffing the morsels into homemade vanilla waffle cones.

Their menu often serves up specials like Sriracha Mac and cheese fried chicken waffle cone—which is just as delicious and decadent as it sounds.

According to the shop’s owner, there is always a line outside their door of hungry New Yorkers just waiting to get their hands on a Chick N Cone. “We serve about 450 cones a day and there are days when we’ve even hit 1,000,” co-owner Jonathan Almanzar told TODAY Food. “We go through about 2,500 pounds of chicken per week.”

The idea is simple: cooking one meal from every country in the world in alphabetical order. “Every two weeks I’ll start a new country and I’ll start off by giving an in-depth view of the country,” she further explained in an interview with Eat Blog Talk. “So I’ll get fun facts and I’ll give an overview of the history. I’ll talk a little bit about the food culture and the flavors that are normally incorporated into the food in that country. I’ll also just give any other relevant information that might not go into those specific categories.”

After some initial background research comes the main dish. Depending on the country, she’ll share two to five recipes from that country over the next two weeks. “I try to do a main dish and an appetizer, and I always try to do a dessert because I love dessert,” says Drzazgowski. “So I’ll feature some food from that country.”

Like most food blogs, The Foreign Fork began as a passion project. After spending her final semester abroad, Drzazgowski backpacked across Europe. During her time across the ocean, she visited 15 countries in 18 weeks. Her favorite thing to explore in each and every one of them? Food.

“I’ve always loved cooking and baking, but when I was abroad, my love transformed into a border-line obsession,” she admits on her website. “I took countless cooking classes and food tours, I visited every local market I could find, and I would spend hours before dinner researching which restaurant would provide the most authentic experience.” Having returned to Michigan, she decided to keep her passion alive through the kitchen. Hence The Foreign Fork came to be.

With almost 200 countries behind her, Drzazgowski’s hobby has long outgrown its humble beginnings. And though she admits to being an amateur when it comes to cooking, her inquisitiveness makes up for it. “When I’m actually starting to cook from a country, I definitely do a lot of research,” she stresses in the interview. “It’s really important to be representing the culture of the country that you’re cooking in an accurate light and making sure that you’re doing it correctly. So I spend a lot of time doing research before I cook for my country.”

What is your favorite pasta? I know it is hard to pick just one!⁣ ⁣ One of my favorites is Penne Puttanesca. While we were in Italy we saw a cooking demonstration from Marco Martini, a chef from Stazione di Posta in Rome. His restaurant is Michelin-starred, you can find a few tips and see a picture of his version in the recipe on Compass & Fork.⁣ ⁣ There is also a story behind this recipe. If you research the history of Puttanesca, it seems it was a favorite of “working girls” if you get my drift, who wanted something quick and could be made form pantry staples. So don't worry too much if you don't have the proper ingredients, it is quite flexible.⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #healthyrecipes #healthycuisines #youarewhatyoueat #foodietravel #compassandfork #foodpicoftheday #foodlovers #commontable #onmytable #tastemade #yahoofood #heresmyfood #realsimple #cntravelereats #foodielife #goodeating #traveleats #foodforfoodies #foodaroundtheworld #foodadventures #foodtravel #foodtraveller #foodietribe #bestfoodworld #tastetheworld #travelingfoodie #travelforfood #lonelyplanetfood #worldnomads #pasta

The two encourage their readers and followers to approach their site as sort of virtual vacation. “Learn about the place, the culture, the people, the food. Think whether it is a place you might want to visit, and what would be involved. Cook along with us at home, all the recipes for the month will be the same cuisine—but a mix of breakfast, lunch, dinner, desserts, and salads. Enough so that you can find something to try.”

]]> Food and travel go hand-in-hand. A country’s food isn’t just a source of energy—it’s an ode to its culture, land, and people. You can better experience exactly what a place has to offer by tasting its food. As travel and food blogger Janine Thomas puts it: when you put food and traveling together, it’s a marriage made in heaven.

The mastermind behind the travel blog with the catchy name Gastrotravelogue, Thomas dedicates her travel to the local dishes and cuisines—eating her way around the world.

Her blog posts and accompanying Instagram photos are very much envy-inducing, with her travels taking her to some exotic destinations such as Zanzibar and Koh Phi Phi island.⁠ But when it comes to the actual food, Thomas admits Vietnam is probably one of her favorite destinations.

“There are still French influences to be found like in the classics like Bánh mì, which is a crispy baguette filled with delicious pate, roasted meat and crunchy fresh salad,” she relayed in an interview with Travel Awaits. “Each bite is heavenly. Another favorite is Vietnamese spring rolls, with a lattice-like rice paper wrapper, deep fried to puff up, surrounding a taste explosion inside. Yum!”

Her advice to other travelers? Take your time when you plan a trip. “It makes such a difference when you arrive at an airport and don’t have to dither around trying to get to your destination,” she stresses. “I know so many people who have an argument at that point, and it’s not a great way to start a holiday.”

]]> Anyone who’s ever tried being vegan while traveling knows that this kind of adventure requires a lot of dedication and organization. These are some of our tips you should be aware of before you hit the road again.

Find Accommodation With Kitchen

One of the best tips for vegan travel is to book accommodation that has a nice kitchen you can use. This will make your trip so much easier, because you’ll be able to prep all your meals for the day here.

Shop At The Farmer’s Market

Find the nearest farmer’s market, where you can buy tasty and fresh products that are usually much cheaper here than in a supermarket. This is also a good chance to meet local people and experience new culture.

Apps

Finding a good vegan restaurant can be pretty challenging, especially when you’re in a foreign country. However, there are a number of cool apps—such as Happy Cow or Vegaholic—that can help you find great vegan restaurants around the world based on your likes and preferences, and you can even find helpful reviews here.

]]> Nicole Fung’s love of food is interwoven with her love of travel. The co-founder of food, travel, and lifestyle platform That Food Cray !!!, Fung initially launched the online platform as a way of documenting her travels.

“That Food Cray !!! started as a passion project,” she relayed in an interview with Suitcase Magazine. “When I first started writing, I honestly wasn’t expecting anyone to read it. I had just moved to Hong Kong from Canada and wanted to document my travels as well as everything I ate along the way.”

But what began as an outlet to express her love for food and her adventures has turned over the years into a global brand with over 90k fans on Instagram alone. Alongside her husband Eugene Kan, Fung now shares her unique food experiences with others, both in Hong Kong and elsewhere.

Her goal is to eat outside the box, and she encourages her followers to do the same. “My family is from Hong Kong, so I’ve always felt a connection to the city,” says the Chinese Canadian blogger, who now lives in Hong Kong.

“It was my second home; now it is home. Hong Kong is a very transient place and is extremely multi-cultural. There are people from all over the world, which makes the food selection very diverse. You can find everything from classic French to halal Chinese food.”

]]> London-based foodie and BBC presenter Leyla Kazim knows a good meal when she tastes one. The founder of food and travel blog The Cutlery Chronicles, Kazim shares her global culinary stories as she travels around the world (when traveling is permitted, that is).

Inspired by the exceptional cooking she was brought up with by her Mauritian mother and Turkish-Cypriot father, Kazim appreciates the huge range of flavors available in the culinary world, as she actively seeks them out.

Her passion for food resulted in a road trip around the world in 2015 which ended up as a Lonely Planet’s book: The Ultimate Eatlist, The World’s Top 500 Food Experiences (2018).

“What inspires me to create content is what inspires me in life,” she recently shared in an interview with Mother Tongue, “broadening my horizons with travel, appreciating the beauty of this planet and its people, experiencing things I haven’t before, and exploring cuisines from around the world.

“I’m on one big journey myself, saying yes to as many opportunities as I can, and seeing where they take me,” adds Kazim. “A big part of travel for me is quashing pre-conceptions, and fully immersing myself in new cultures. It’s sharing these experiences, and hoping they might ignite a sense of adventure in others, that inspires me to create content.”

And while most of us won’t be able to travel the world for quite a while, scrolling through Kazim’s Instagram page is a reminder that good things (and more importantly – tasty things) are yet to come!

]]> Fried chicken and waffles have been a classic dish of American cuisine for years, but this traditional dish got a whole new spin to it by Chick N Cone.

Instead of using classic bone-in chicken, Chick N Cone coats tender, boneless chicken breast pieces with a delicious panic breadcrumb coating. The pieces are fried until crispy and chopped into bite sized pieces. That already sounds delicious enough, but Chick N Cone takes it to the next level by tossing the chicken in homemade sauce and stuffing the morsels into homemade vanilla waffle cones.

Their menu often serves up specials like Sriracha Mac and cheese fried chicken waffle cone—which is just as delicious and decadent as it sounds.

According to the shop’s owner, there is always a line outside their door of hungry New Yorkers just waiting to get their hands on a Chick N Cone. “We serve about 450 cones a day and there are days when we’ve even hit 1,000,” co-owner Jonathan Almanzar told TODAY Food. “We go through about 2,500 pounds of chicken per week.”
