There, they will learn to refine their family recipe and cement their legacy in an Airbnb cookbook, planned for 2020. To kick things off and celebrate the launch of Airbnb Cooking Experiences – and to find the next wave of culinary treasures – Airbnb is calling on the world to apply or nominate their favorite home cook so they can treat them to a once in a lifetime trip to Italy. Through this vetting process, we have verified that each host of an Airbnb Experience communicates the unique essence of every dish through their personal stories and has proven a deep knowledge of the heritage of the cuisine that they share Airbnb To protect the personal nature of each recipe, each experience has been vetted against guidelines inspired by Slow Food, a grassroots organization whose mission is to prevent the disappearance of local food cultures and traditions. Hosted by families, farmers, pastry cooks and more, local hosts can now highlight the deeper meaning behind the food you eat, teaching traditional recipes and sharing stories in intimate settings around the world. Unlike typical cooking classes, which can feel intimidating or time-consuming, at the heart of every experience is human connection people coming together to make and share a meal. Through Airbnb Cooking Experiences, we are presenting a new way to understand culture through food.
