One of the great joys of traveling is the chance to eat something new. Whether it's a mouthwatering steak in Argentina or an English breakfast in London, exposure to new cuisine helps us understand the places we visit and people we meet. But of all the foods we'll ...

Aug 12th, 2009 at 9:00AM: As someone who has done her fare share of cooking, I have mad respect for anyone undertaking the daily grind of working in a professional kitchen, let alone running one. Yet as a woman, I can't help but revel just a wee bit more in the achievements of the many female chefs out there who are gaining the culinary respect they so deserve. Take Chef Anne-Sophie Pic, for example, of the newly opened, ...

Jul 22nd, 2009 at 9:00AM: "Here's to those who show up", cookbook author and artisan chef Kate Hill announces as we raise our glass of Baron D'Ardeuil Buzet (a Merlot blend) to toast the fruits of our afternoon labor. Yet, labor might be considered a misnomer, since by no means did I consider those precious hours tasting Floc de Gascogne, a local specialty made from Armagnac, while touching and tasting my way around ...

Jul 8th, 2009 at 9:30AM: I must confess. I want Carolyn Stromberg's job. She spends all day surrounded by stinky cheese, nibbling away her work hours immersed in plethora of funkiness. There's no three-walled office cubicle for this former Cowgirl Creamery apprentice. Only a butcher's block and a stainless steel cheese slicer, along with one of the ultra-coolest gadgets I've seen in a long time-- a glass-enclosed cheese ...

Jul 3rd, 2009 at 8:00AM: Culinarily inept? Well, if you are, you're not alone (and you're in good company ... with me). The Lodge at Vail, a RockResort, has exactly the solution for those of us who believe cooking dinner involves a phone call. The Colorado Cookin' package will make you a chef for a day, as Executive Chef Rahm Fama takes you through the local farmers' market and into the Cucina Rustica restaurant's kitchen ...

Jun 29th, 2009 at 12:30PM: Where was your photo taken? At the 17th Street Farmer's Market in my hometown of Richmond, Virginia. I'm a produce stand junkie. As soon as market season begins, you can find me sifting through piles of fresh veggies, meats and other locally made delicacies nearly every week. Where do you live now? Richmond, Virginia, where I spend the majority of my days writing, cooking, and planning where to go ...

May 21st, 2009 at 4:00PM: Tucked away in Loch Tay is Scotland's best-kept secret. Ardeonaig brings a touch of South Africa to the simultaneously rough and enchanting countryside, fusing two cultures that one would not expect to see interwoven. The resort offers only a couple dozen rooms, most of which are freestanding thatch-roofed cottages scattered across the property. Each is quite large, accommodating two with plenty ...

Apr 8th, 2009 at 10:00AM: It's no big secret that New York is absolutely spoiled for choice when it comes to food. If you need any proof, Undiscovered New York has already reviewed a whole slew of New York City's more interesting eating neighborhoods and cuisines. Yet one of the greatest benefits of all this great food is that you don't even have to go to one of New York's many restaurants to enjoy it. New York is also a ...

Oct 16th, 2008 at 12:00PM: Finding this Indian cooking website has changed my world. I can cook basic Indian food, thanks to my mum, but when it comes to anything a little complicated, I get a lazy -- especially because (from experience) -- after a hours of work, the end result has not been worth the effort. I would also blame the disaster dish on me living in Spain: "All the spices are not available and what are available ...

Jul 31st, 2008 at 12:00PM: Formula One, the world's tallest building, the most luxurious hotel on the globe, a housing development that is built to resemble a miniature world. Dubai has made a name for itself with its larger than life constructions, impressive spectacles, and over-the-top luxury offerings. It seems only natural, then, that the major players in other urban areas would want to try their hand in Dubai. London ...

Jul 15th, 2008 at 3:00PM: Location: This week Anthony is in Colombia, a country that finds itself the setting of one of South America's most remarkable transformations. In the 25 years since the death of Pablo Escobar, one of the world's most notorious drug lords, this once war-torn country has emerged like a phoenix from the scars of the past. Colombia offers Tony a tantalizing mix of cultures, delicious food and ...

Dec 28th, 2007 at 1:30PM: Taking further our kicks of eating things either made by someone famous or with someone famous, now eating on something famous takes a new turn. Friends, friends and friends, you can now dine in new style at 410-feet on the Eiffel Tower. Called Jules Verne (after the famous French author?), the revamped restaurant on this monument is the brain child of celebrity chef Alain Ducasse that will serve ...
