If these past months have taught us anything, it is to never take what we have for granted. With most of us confined to our homes these days, the kitchens provide a source of comfort, but also a place where we can explore different tastes and expand our horizons. Being the foodies we are, one thing we miss most these days is food-based travels.

Food and travel blogger Janine Thomas understands the importance of a good meal when traveling abroad. “I am not sure which I love more—food or travelling,” she writes on her website. “When you put them together it is a marriage made in heaven.”

Her blog includes city guides, travel tips, and resources dictated by her many food experiences. Those include guides to Middle Eastern Spices and 15 Dishes You Have to Try when visiting France.

One country that Thomas admires in particular for its tasty cuisine is Vietnam. “There are still French influences to be found like in the classics like Bánh mì, which is a crispy baguette filled with delicious pate, roasted meat and crunchy fresh salad,” she explained in an interview with Travel Awaits. “Each bite is heavenly. Another favorite is Vietnamese spring rolls, with a lattice like rice paper wrapper, deep fried to puff up, surrounding a taste explosion inside. Yum!”

And while we might not board a plane for some time now, Thomas’ blog and Instagram page provide resources for our travels to come. In the meanwhile, you might find us cooking up something good in the kitchen…
