Editor’s Letter
November 2024 PHOTOGRAPHER: ANNA KUKOYAKO IG: @ANNA_KUKOYAKO
Lucy Morris Editor-in-chief Welcome to this month’s World Encounter Travel November Issue, where we explore the rich tapestry of global cuisine during this bountiful harvest season! As November unfolds, we find ourselves at the intersection of traditional harvest celebrations and warming winter fare. This month offers an extraordinary blend of culinary experiences, from autumn’s last fresh ingredients to the first hearty winter dishes. November presents exceptional opportunities to savor seasonal delicacies worldwide. While Japanese chefs craft warming bowls of matsutake mushroom soup, South American cuisines celebrate with fresh spring flavors. The contrast couldn’t be more delicious! This month brings fascinating food festivals globally. From the new wine celebrations of Beaujolais Nouveau in France to the sweet treats of Diwali in India, November is rich with opportunities to experience traditional foods and festive feasts. For those seeking authentic culinary experiences, November offers the perfect window to explore local food scenes. Cities like Bologna and Barcelona embrace their traditional cooking with seasonal ingredients, while local markets overflow with autumn’s bounty. As winter approaches, comfort food takes center stage in many cultures. From the hearty fondue of the Swiss Alps to the warming bowls of ramen in Japan, November’s end promises the first tastes of winter’s culinary comforts. Whether you’re sampling street food or dining in Michelin-starred restaurants, November offers unique flavors for every food enthusiast. Pack your appetite and an open mind, and set out to taste the world’s most exciting seasonal cuisines. As we look ahead to December, we’re excited to explore winter’s festive foods in our upcoming issues dedicated to holiday traditions and seasonal specialties. Next time, we’ll discover Christmas cookies, winter truffles, and warming spirits from around the globe. See you at the table for all the wonderful festivities!
