A great way to learn about the foods eaten by a particular culture is to study the area and share ideas. But why not delve a bit deeper before your departure and try your hand at cooking signature dishes? Here is a great tip suggested by one of our teachers:

“We get together pre-departure and eat! With a little research our group members have been able to come up with some fantastic meals based on food from the regions we’ll be visiting!”

-Scott Miller, teacher, MI
