Ever wanted to visit the Perigord region of Southwest France and forage for truffles? Eat your way through the vast regions of Mexico? What about exploring all the wonder of Andalusia, Spain?
We’ve all trusted National Geographic for years to bring us magazines and films that scope the world’s treasures; now the earth-loving mag has launched Foods of the World, a website dedicated to bringing specialty foods and artisan products (that all support the Slow Food Movement) from 30 countries around the world.
From the press release: “Foods of the World is designed as a shopping resource for consumers interested in receiving fresh, high-quality foods from around the world. While online, consumers can share recipes from their own travels or culture, participate in community discussions and delve deeper into the origin of the site’s food offerings by accessing maps and feature stories about their region of choice from the National Geographic archives. As the site evolves, consumers will also be able to post photos and videos of their own travels and favorite real-world culinary destinations.”
The featured destination right now: Latin America. The site is gorgeous, with all the color photography we expect from NG. I’m headed to Portugal right now. Where will you go?
