Foodie Lass The Food Adventurers by Daniel E. Bender explores how round-the-world travel changed the way we eat. Take some time to re-think your opinion on food and tourism by reading The Food Adventurers.
Are you a foodie traveller who chooses your holiday destination by the local food on offer or are you more of a traditionalist with home comfort-style food?
The Food Adventurers takes the reader on an amazing journey from the beginning of modern food tourism to historic meal experiences that travellers recounted by writing articles and postcard collections.
The author introduces the reader to the increased popularity of world travel and cuisines by specific changes in modes of international travel, such as:
Part 1: From Sail to Steam, 1840-1900
Part11: The Golden Age of Steam, 1900-1945
Part 111: Aeroplanes and the Age of Mass Tourism 1945-75
This book gives you an insight into the many world travellers and explorers who took the time to document their personal experiences on their (sometimes perilous) journeys. Travellers include Ida Pfeiffer, Edith James, Juanita Harrison and Myra Waldo to name but a few.
Also included are some of the more well-known names in the travel industry such as Thomas Cook, Pan Am, Inter-Continental, Hilton and Trader Vic’s.
Be inspired by the tales of food from so many exotic places to the dishes served on luxury cruise ships such as the Cunard Line. Learn about the difficulties of travelling in the tropics, and how travel companies handed out advice on how to navigate drinking water and eating local foods. Has this advice changed over the centuries?
So grab your tea or coffee and find a quiet spot to learn about The Foodie Adventurers – and how round-the-world travel changed the way we appreciate food.
