Three Tours & a Cookbook
The boys at Globetrotting Gourmet have a full dance card,
hosting upcoming tours to Hanoi over the holidays, Burma/Myanmar in April '14
over the Water Festival, and the upcoming launch of their new book, The Burma
Cookbook, published by River Books. They'll soon be touring on a two-month
promo blitz across over the new year, but the best news is that there are seats
still available on all their upcoming food tours.
And if any Australian cooking school or travel group wants
them to address clients in January or February, contact them before they leave
for the US. They host the tastiest
cooking demonstrations! Join writer and food stylist Robert Carmack, and
textile guru partner Morrison Polkinghorne as they tour northern Vietnam for
New Year's eve celebrations, Dec 29-Jan 5, with optional Ha Long Bay pre and
post excursions. Savour the country's
best foods while meeting its top chefs, including celebrity Didier Corlou or
Verticale and Madame Thien and cookbook author Tracy Lister.
Feast with celebrity chef Didier Corlou, cruise the Red
River Delta, and visit exquisite artisanal craft villages of Northern Vietnam.
Meet local authors, ambassadors sharing Vietnam's great cuisine around the
world. Includes our Pho noodle soup "crawl" on pedicabs through the
laneways of the capital's medieval Old Quarter.
You'll never again eat so much Pho in one go -- but then, that's the
only way to discern the difference between great and The Best! Our group
billets at mod chic luxe hotel l'Opera in the city center, with views of the
classical French opera house.
Cookbook author Robert Carmack and textile authority
Morrison Polkinghorne broaden their range of culinary activities, offering an
“Authors’ Lunches” program – a chance to learn from the experts, while eating
some of the best and most authentic foods in northern Vietnam. The settings are informal around the table,
more like a lunch than a lecture, small and intimate. And truly genuine local
encounters.
The boys at Globetrotting Gourmet note a trend emerging in
food travel. Rather than just learning a series of recipes, participants seek
grounded knowledge of ingredients, taste combinations and technique, to explore
Asian cooking through tastings, market tours and by talking to the local
experts. "People want the genuine experience, something they can't achieve
on their own. So they come to us,"
explains director Robert Carmack. "These are not cooking class tours, they
are truly food and culture tours -- and better yet, we include all the cultural
highlights as well. And we ensure you are eating deliciously throughout."
What a delicious way to start your new year. Dates: Dec 29-Jan 5, with optional Ha Long
Bay cruises pre- and post tour. Priced from $3850, with deluxe accommodation.
Globetrotting Gourmet food tours, now in its second decade,
offers just a few trips a year– and each one is unique, taking food lovers well
off the beaten track, to a world of Asian authenticity. Each program is
personally organised and hosted by Robert and Morrison. "If we simply farmed the tour off to a
local company, they would presume wrongly what our clientele wants. They want authenticity, uniqueness, and a
chance to break baguettes with the locals. So we organise the sites and
restaurants ourselves," explains co-host Morrison. It's a lot more work that way for us, but
much more fulfilling. And it definitely
works, as we have so many repeat customers."
Dates are Sunday 29 Dec until 5 Jan '14, with an optional Ha
Long Bay cruise pre or post tour. This tour only covers northern Vietnam,
ridding guests of timely delays traveling between airports, but further
journeys south can easily be arranged through their recommended local Hanoi tour
company. Details on Globetrotting Gourmet website www.asianfoodtours.com & info@globetrottinggourmet.com
