Culinary tourism is when people travel to a different country to enjoy local cuisine. Travelers often look
specifically for places with a rich cuisine, food and drink festivals, and cooking classes. Many different
destinations are popular for culinary tourism, such as France, Thailand, India, and Japan.
The most basic form of culinary tourism is when travelers go to a country with the aim of trying local dishes.
Culinary tourists are interested in dishes that cannot be found in other places. Food and drink festivals increase
culinary tourism because they give travelers a chance to sample many different dishes. Cooking classes also give
tourists the chance to learn how to cook local dishes and teach them new techniques in the process. A culinary tour
may include a mixture of these activities.
Particularly in Thailand, there are cooking schools with a huge range of prices, locations, and cuisines to
choose from. A typical half-day course includes an introduction to fundamental ingredients, cooking techniques,
and a hands-on chance to prepare and cook at least four dishes. Most schools offer a revolving cast of dishes,
making it possible to study for a week without repeating a lesson. Courses often start with a visit to a market and
end with a communal lunch where you get to taste your hard work.
The courses at smaller Thai cooking schools in Bangkok offer an ideal home-style learning environment that
is different from most of the hotels and restaurants in Thailand. You can experience Thai culture through the arts
and secrets of fragrant and delicious Thai cooking with the local people. Experienced chefs will show you the
secret recipe of authentic Thai cuisine step-by-step. But keep in mind that Thai cooking is extremely flexible.
Although you will be given recipes, the emphasis is on understanding the ingredients and flavors and using your
senses to make adjustments when you cook. Classes are intended to be relaxed and fun, reflecting the Thai
approach to life. There is no need to have any previous cooking experience, just a love of food and a willingness
to experiment. 【題組】74 According to the passage, which of the following statement could be inferred?
