FIELD NOTES
Useful context. Clear choices. Better journeys.
Begin at the market
Go early, look before buying, and try what is in season. A market visit gives you the ingredients, meal times, and everyday vocabulary of a destination in under an hour.
Order with curiosity
Ask what the kitchen is proud of today. Learn a few dietary phrases, respect local meal rhythms, and remember that a full dining room is often more useful than a long review list.
