Discover the pleasures of slow food - Dining out tip

by Nadine T. Lagaso (RSS feed) on May 2nd 2010 at 2:04PM

Food is the soul of every city. So when traveling, try to dine at least one restaurant that celebrates slow food – a grassroots movement that marries the pleasure of eating with a commitment to the community and the environment.

Slow food restaurants use fresh, local, seasonal ingredients to craft their dishes. So as you dine, you're not only pleasing your palate, but you're supporting local farmers and fisherman as well.

For the lowdown on slow food, visit slowfoodusa.org. The site allows visitors to search for restaurants by state. It also includes information on local farmers markets, farm tours, cooking classes and events.

I travel a lot and I really think the best way to appreciate 'slow food' when travelling is to take a cooking course so you really to know the location through it's food and its so nice to come home and re-live the memories by cooking and eating the food.

For affordable cookery courses, take a look at GoLearnTo.com's range, 1 day classes up to 1 week residential courses to really 'go slow'...
