Here at Travel Counsellors, we think that the chance to sample the culinary delights of a destination is a big part of the fun when you’re travelling. It’s hard to beat the taste of feta cheese and olives in Greece, cured meats and pasta in Italy, and for the ultimate treat, a glass or two of champagne in France.

With this in mind our Travel Counsellors don’t just organise amazing accommodation, comfortable flights, handy car hire and great holiday experiences, they can also make restaurant reservations for you, and as expert travellers they can even recommend their favourite local dishes. 

In a quest to be an expert in the kitchen as well as in all things travel and food related, a group of Travel Counsellors have tested their culinary skills in none other than famous TV chef and food education champion Jamie Oliver’s “Recipease” cooking school. Sponsored by the Dubai Department of Tourism, 10 lucky Travel Counsellors relished the chance to get to grips with incredible ingredients in the renowned chef’s kitchen. Although they didn’t meet the man himself, they were trained by Jamie’s expert cooks and were able to ask questions, learn new skills, get inspiration and try some fabulous food!

The end result was 10 amazing (and very different looking) Thai Green Curries, which all tasted delicious and received top marks for effort and execution. So when it comes to booking your next getaway through your local Travel Counsellor, why not pick their brains for the best foodie experiences across the globe. Afterall, Travel Counsellors take pride in arranging every element of your holiday for you, down to the last detail.
