About The Adventures
What turns travel into adventure? Amazing sights, new tastes and great people play a role. But at the heart of the matter is our own open spirit and curiosity, a sense of romance found in small things, and a friendly approach to our fellow humans. This key opens the door to unforgettable experiences and delights. It is the philosophy behind Peggy Markel’s Culinary Adventures.
Drawing on Peggy’s 16 years of culinary travel and discovery, Peggy’s Adventures offer a direct entré into the magical cultures of the Mediterranean and North Africa. You will stand in different shoes for a time, and walk at a different pace, in the vineyards of wine producers, in the studios of cheese makers, at the stove of great chefs, in groves that produce local delicacies and spice markets from a different age. After these days of adventure, you will return with a greater bounty than a few recipes or branches of rosemary, but with a truly long-lasting appreciation of life’s fineness and richness. That’s a meal we can always enjoy! More…
