World Food Recipes That Will Bring Travel Home

Food is perhaps the biggest element of traveling and one of my favorites! It’s the one component that you can revisit when you are at home that almost instantly brings you right back to the place you were when you tried a dish.

That authentic bruschetta that transports you back to Italy, the Paella that teleports you to Spain, and the banana and Nutella crepe that has you daydreaming of your trip around Paris. There’s nothing quite like indulging in the cuisines of the world. Are you drooling thinking about it, or is that just me?!

If you haven't vacationed in some time, and are a foodie too, you may also be craving the dishes that you'd normally enjoy on vacation. The good news is, you can spice up your home life by attempting to make new recipes until you are ready (or until borders reopen) to visit your dream destination again.

While it may not ever be as authentic at the real thing, and we have to make it ourselves instead of being served, we can at least try our hands at the culinary arts and relive our past travel experiences while we wait.

With that in mind, I've provided several links below that I recommend perusing with some popular dishes you can try. Pick a few recipes and make a menu themed for the destinations you want to visit.

Add to the spirit of authenticity by hitting up your local international grocery stores to get as close to the actual spices, seasonings, and even meats they use in other parts of the world!

​I hope you enjoy our food picks and share which recipes you try!

Food Ideas Inspired by Travel Around the World:

  • Tahiti: Poisson Cru, Po’e, Chevrettes, and Poulet
    Poisson Cru is a staple for breakfast, lunch and dinner. One of my favorite treats!

  • Spain: Croquettes, Gazpacho, Flan, and Empanadas
    While Paella is a traditional treat that I didn't list, it's one of those that most everyone knows and there are many other dishes to try out. I couldn't get enough of food here!

  • Greece: Lamb Pitas/Gyros, Greek Salad, Lemon-Garlic Chicken, and Classic Hummu
    You can't go wrong with a Mediterranean diet!

  • Italy: Margherita Pizza, Ravioli with Goat Cheese and Mint Sauce, and Panna Cotta
    I still dream about all the food I've had here!

  • Mexico: Oxtail & Poblano Peppers Stew, Tripe Quesadilla, Braised Short Ribs, and Flautas
    Add some margaritas to jazz up the experience! It really does change the taste when you use authentic cheese and tortillas from your local Mexican grocery store.

  • Thailand: Green Curry, Red Curry Noodle Bowls, and Pad Thai
    Ideal for those that enjoy aromatic and a spicy edge!

  • Japan: Shabu-Shabu, Dango Dumplings, Shogayaki Ginger Pork, and Temari Sush 
    Japanese cuisine includes a wide variety of products and offers a unique experience worth a try! 
    ​
  • Jamaica: Jerk Chicken, Curry Shrimp, and Saltfish Fritters 
    Looking forward to my next visit for these Caribbean inspired delights!

  • France: Croque-Monsieur, Ratatouille, Coq Au Vin, and Macarons
    My most favorite was the variety of crepes!

If you didn’t see the country you want to visit listed above, type “authentic recipes” and the name of the country you want to visit. Odds are, you’ll find several hundred to consider.

Of course, if you prefer visuals, head over to Pinterest and type in your search there. This way you can see what the final product is supposed to look like and you can decide if you want to learn more.

​Either way, I’d like to encourage you to get creative in the kitchen. Who knows what culinary adventures you may uncover under your own roof!

And, when you are ready to travel again, I hope you will think of Destinations HD to 
book your next trip.
