"One of the best parts of traveling is almost always the cuisine, whether that’s a teppanyaki experience in Japan with a private chef or finding the best budget kaiserschmarren high in the Alps. But as we all know, international travel is but a dream for the average American this winter. But if you’re buying this gift-giving season for someone who loves both food and travel, you’re in luck: food and ingredients from just about anywhere in the world if you know where to look

While recreating their favorite dish at home is no substitute for really being in a country, it’s a great way to be reminded of a favorite past trip or learn something new together: after all, there’s a certain technique to making the perfect sushi rice. And gifts for traveling foodies aren’t just limited to having their favorite snacks imported. Many of the gifts below are interactive, customizable, and perfect for people who appreciate the experience of foreign cuisine as much as the taste.

Every suggestion below can be shipped to the U.S. relatively quickly (or is already based in the U.S..)

Of course, with a year so challenging for most people as 2020, it’s important to remember there’s another far more affordable gift giving option for foodies: for nearby friends and family, try making their favorite dish. Even if it doesn’t turn out perfectly, they’ll still appreciate the effort (though homemade cookies should please everyone no matter what type of food they prefer.)"
