Some travel for culture while some want a deep dive into the flavors and foods of a place through a culinary tour. The good news? You can have both.
Do you dream of steeping yourself in the timeless splendor of Morocco, exploring the souks of Marrakech, and learning about the pleasures of Moroccan cuisine? Or traveling through the Amalfi Coast of Italy, where picture-perfect villages hang from sheer cliffs over the impossibly blue Mediterranean, and learning to make mozzarella, pasta, pizza, and more from local masters?
Friend, Table contributor, and four-time James Beard award-winning cookbook author Cheryl Alters Jamison, leads culinary adventure trips to dazzling Morocco, Italy’s dramatic Amalfi Coast, and also the sun-drenched South of France. You’re in good hands as she partners with award-winning, woman-owned French travel company Tour with Absolutely. There are still a few spaces left on her Marrakech and Amalfi Coast trips. These are small groups with no more than a dozen like-minded folks.
