It’s time for our annual roundup, when we look at the numbers and see which food and travel articles, recipes and podcasts (the top five in each category) were the most popular among our Real Food Traveler readers and Podcast listeners. Some were new this year and some are old favorites that you keep coming back to again and again. These yearly lists offer our team insight into what’s most important to you: You want information and inspiration about places to travel, all over the world. You love being able to cook something at home that connects you with destinations you’ve been to or long to. And, through the Real Food Traveler Podcast, you like hearing the voices and human element of real people talking about what they are passionate about.
On behalf of our team, we appreciate every one of you taking the time to read and listen to what RealFoodTraveler.com brings. We thank you for a wonderful 2024 and raise a virtual glass to a 2025 that brings health, peace, clarity, compassion and many opportunities to travel and dine around the world. I truly believe that it’s through travel and feasting locally that we really understand how much our similarities and differences unite us and should be celebrated.
