LONDON (2 September): National Geographic Traveller Food (UK)’s new issue invites you to explore some of Europe’s tastiest food trails as part of your next adventure. With overseas travel now more feasible than at any point in the past year and a half, the magazine’s cover story presents 18 itineraries tailor-made for any traveller who’s eager to immerse themselves in the finest food and drink the Continent has to offer.

In the Autumn edition of this special-issue series, embark on a European tour, whether it’s searching for the Big Five — langoustine, lobster, oyster, shrimp and mussels — on a seafood safari in West Sweden; seeking out Kalamata olives among the groves of the Peloponnese; or sampling sweet cannoli on a pastry tour of Sicily.

Glen Mutel, editor of National Geographic Traveller Food, said: “Europe is full of wonderfully tempting trails — those meandering routes that gradually reveal the various layers of a local obsession.

“They can be regional, like Normandy’s Cider Route, or country-wide, like the chocolate-themed itineraries that link up Switzerland’s major cities. But what they’ve all got in common is they neatly stitch together destinations that have so much to offer hungry visitors.

“As things tentatively open up, and travel starts to feel ever-more possible, now’s the time to start plotting your next trip — and for food-lovers, what could be better than following a food trail?”

Also in this issue, we meet the new generation of distillers making experimental spirits in Scotland, from a distinctly Scottish absinthe to pea vodka; sample some of world’s tastiest truffles in Western Australia; and meet the bakers bringing flavours from all over Asia to the US city of Portland. There’s all this, plus the culinary highlights of Singapore, Dubai and Lisbon.

In addition, expect the usual mix of thought-provoking features and easy-to-follow recipes from world-renowned contributors.
