Embark on a culinary journey from home

You may not be able to leave your house, but your taste buds can. [Today On The Spruce]( [The Spruce Daily]( [Today On The Spruce]( [Today On The Spruce] [Lemon Heading Photo]( [Embark on a Culinary Journey From Home]( [Brooke Schuldt]( There are many things I am missing right now: seeing family and friends whenever I want, eating a meal inside a restaurant instead of a bistro table in the parking lot of the restaurant, touching door knobs without having to wash my hands afterwards. But if you were to ask me what I have been missing the most lately, it is traveling. My favorite thing to do when traveling is to taste my way through a city or country. Like when I went on a solo trip to London and indulged in a delicious champagne and truffle pie at Bob Bob Ricard, or when I tried fried rabbit for the first time on top of some waffles with a berry compote at La Buche in Quebec City. I fell in love with [tortilla]( during a trip around Spain, and I have failed at least 3 times this year to recreate it at home (don’t worry, I’ll keep trying!). If you want to take a culinary trip at home but you’re not sure where to start, this is the perfect season for some [European goulash]( or [Chinese soups](. One of my favorite meals to make all fall and winter is a comforting [chicken tikka masala]( (made even easier with your Instant Pot). You could also get a kick start on your holidays with some [Serbian Christmas bread]( or some [Israeli sufganiyot](. Warm up during the week with a [Thai curry](, or switch up your go-to comfort foods with one of these [French options](. Upgrade your weeknight spaghetti and meatballs with some [Moroccan flavor](, and say goodbye to boring soups and hello to these [Mexican variations]( instead. A deep love for food and how it represents culture, history, and regional ingredients is a common thread between all people. Enjoying new foods is part of what makes travel so fun and exciting, and we can still experience that without the trip through TSA. Whether you try to recreate some of your favorite meals from past trips, or you eat your way through your bucket list, your kitchen can help you escape your current routine and connect with the outside world, if only for a meal. - Brooke Schuldt Social Media Editor, The Spruce Eats [READ MORE]( [Today On The Spruce](#) Recipes We Love [Sugar]( [Kick The Winter Chill With These Spicy Thai Curry Recipes]( [If You’re Looking to Indulge, Turn To These French Comfort Foods]( [Sugar]( [Upgrade Your Pasta Dishes with Some Moroccan Flavors]( [If You’re Bored of Soup, These Mexican Recipes Will Change Your Mind]( [Today On The Spruce](#) One Thing [Heading Living Room]( [Don’t Waste a Thing With This Mustard Jar Salad Dressing]( [Watch & Learn]( [Today On The Spruce]( [Spruce Eats Banner]( [Today On The Spruce](#) More From The Spruce [Peruvian Ceviche: Try This Recipe for a Citrusy Summer Meal]( [Easy, Scampi-Style Bay Scallops With Garlic]( [Pumpkin Whoopie Pies Are the Ultimate Fall Treat]( [Trending Topics](#) [Breads]( [Fall Desserts]( [Comforting Pasta Dishes]( [Seasonal Produce]( [Soups, Stews, and Chili]( [Breakfast Casseroles]( Did somebody forward you this email?
