6/30/2015

32 Comments

 
Dine with the locals around the world.
It's a delicious experience like no other.
- BonAppetour
For us, the best way to experience traveling at its finest is doing it the "local way" as much as possible. Whenever we travel, we try to research or ask locals what to do and where to eat. We always try to experience the country as authentic as we can, specially when it comes to food. Luckily, the website BonAppetour makes it easy for everyone to taste local food when you travel. You can now have the most authentic local experience by booking through this website! 

ABOUT BONAPPETOUR

BonAppetour is an online social platform where a global community of hosts and guests bond over authentic home-cooked food. BonAppetour believes in creating memorable cultural experiences through something that is common across the world - the love for food! Hosts will be able to share their home-cooked dishes, their passion for cooking and culture with guests from all around the globe. Guests will get the taste of home away from home or, perhaps they can even learn a recipe or two!

HOW IT WORKS

BonAppetour can work with guests as well hosts. The explanation on how it works for two audiences is written below.

For Hosts

Everyone can host on BonAppetour, as long as you’ve got that passion to host and make new friends, hosting will be both fun, and much of a breeze! 
STEP 1: Sign up as a host and register
Wait for someone at BonAppetour to verify your application.
STEP 2: Create your menu
Create your dishes that you find most meaningful to you. Add photos & descriptions into your dining experience. Photos of guests savoring your meals around the dinner table help guests picture themselves feasting at your place.
STEP 3: Respond to request
After your dining experience has been approved, guests who like will book. Be sure to respond to requests by guests. Do seek inquiries of any special dietary requirements from them. Invite friends too so that they can help spread the word!
STEP 4: Welcome your guests! 
Once payment has been made, cook your awesome meal for the day of feasting. Add some love with a decorative table setting, refreshments or sharing of backstories.

This looks like a wonderful service. It's hard to travel long distances due to the kids busy schedules. This would bring the food and a piece of cultural experience with it.

This looks so simple to do, I think the experience alone with family and friends would be amazing. I could see myself doing something like this for a holiday or special occasion. It would surely help take the stress out of hosting for me since they help handle the planning.

This sounds incredibly interesting. I'll have to check out the site. My main question is whether or not it is legal in the US, since any locality I've ever lived in required a food service license to prepare food for sale from your home.
