Summary

The term "foodie" has found its way into the dictionary. Defined as "a personith a particular interest in food; a gourmet," the interest in internationaluisines has increased to the point that "The Guide to Cooking Schools 2005"Shaw Guides) devotes almost half of its 358 pages to listings of cookinglasses around the world for the recreational cook. From classes at theordon Bleu in Paris and the CIA in New York, to a small Bed and Breakfast inuscany and a therapeutic spa in Arizona, it is difficult to escape fromood-related travel. Guidebooks devote a hefty portion of their tomes toestaurants and cuisine, cruise ships offer culinary classes in almost everyort (as well as onboard), and celebrity chef Anthony Bourdain has not only aasty travel/food book and a TV show on the Travel Channel, but a mainstreamox TV show based on his life and love of food.
