Which food has that distinct aroma – as soon as you smell it you smile, close your eyes and dream for a moment. It’s so evocative of home that it takes you there immediately, even just for a few seconds.
Recently Feet in 2 Worlds brought together journalists, students and culinary professionals for an intensive three-day food journalism workshop. Participants went out to meet some of the cooks and chefs that make New York’s food culture so diverse and treasured by those searching for a taste of home.
