Spotlight on food
Food is a huge part of slow travel. It’s often through local cuisine that you can best understand the history and culture of a place, and forms bonds with the people who have carried recipes and traditions through the ages. You can also end up eating some really good food.
So, here are some recommendations from us and some of our travel writer friends on where, how and why to linger over a meal or two and get a real flavour of where you are.
