What I've been seeing in the last few years is a blending of food writing and travel writing, where in the past food writing was primarily a description of a particular dish, cuisine, or restaurant (or Chef), now the predominant style is to write about where one goes to enjoy a particular dish or cuisine......sort of a travelogue for food aficionados....

The travel articles that combine food writing that I like best are those that deal with a country's (or region's) style of cooking and the dishes that are unique to a specific place. I like to learn how to cook something new directly from a native cook, not always necessarily a professional chef, but someone who grew up learning recipes that have been handed down through generations. And I like to learn a bit about the country or region at the same time - how did the dish or style of cooking evolve? What is it about the locally sourced ingredients that lend uniqueness to the dish?

I think many people can appreciate such writing because so many more people are interested in cuisine these days are will travel to experience it, so it's a very interesting and potentially lucrative genre to specialize in as a writer.

Good luck! I'd love to hear more about your experience with it if you follow this path! <img src="http://www.travel-writers-exchange.com/Forum/my-plugins/bb-smilies/default/icon_smile.gif" title=":-)" class="bb_smilies" />
