"Food eaten in its place of origin is very evocative. Eating a bistecca in Tuscany or tortellini in Emilia Romagna creates a mood that elevates the experience of eating. I refer to this as evocative eating and it is at the core of the taste and travel experience. If this sounds like a banner line for foodies, yes, it would certainly appeal to those who have a keen interest in food but a taste and travel trip isn’t just about the food.Whatever your travel goals; relaxation and well being, the arts and music, shopping, adventure travel, a family vacation, they all can be enriched by combining them with a pleasure of eating food in its historical place of origin".
