This book describes perfectly the experience of what Flavor Forays is meant to be.

A travel back to the origins of our industry traditions, meeting with some of the best culinary and mixologist talents, sharing their passion and local best-kept secrets through food and storytelling.

A fantastic networking event I had the opportunity to attend on multiple occasions.

What better way to experience the food culture than visiting a community and immersing oneself with the locals, hearing their stories, and learning about how their culture evolved over time. Flavor Forays offers a unique opportunity to meet with local experts, tour farms, producers, restaurants, and more and really learn about the heart of each community they visit in just a couple of days. Now with this book you can join the adventures as an armchair traveler.

Till this day I have stacks of Food Arts magazine from 2006-2008, during the time I lived and worked in St. Thomas. Never in a million years did I think one day I would be cooking for the Food Arts pioneers. Beverly and Barbara are two passionate ladies! Their new culinary venture, Flavor
Forays has become one of my favorite events to be a part of. All because of these beautiful ladies and their wonderful spirit. Now with this book, so many more people will have the opportunity to enjoy the Flavor Forays experience.
