If you are an culinarily inspired traveler like me (not that I travel
much, but I'm not going anywhere unless there will be very good food involved), but schlepping through
jungles to eat beating cobra's hearts like Tony Bourdain is a little too
exotic, then perhaps something like Worlds of Flavor is more suited for
you.
Worlds of Flavor is a travel program from both the Culinary Institute of America and the Viking Range company. This isn't a vacation where you lounge around on the beach all day. Travelers follow a world-renown chef or other culinary expert to Spain, Italy, central Mexico, Southeast Asia, India, and the Mississippi Delta. The trips are all about the cuisines of those cultures, involving visits to local markets, demonstrations by home cooks, meetings with local professional chefs, wine-tasting, and even some hands-on cooking classes.
The tours last about 10 days, cost anywhere from $2500 for the Mississippi Delta Tour to over $5000 for Spain.
