Welcome to the Silver Travel Cook Club, the perfect place to whet your appetite for recipes around the world.
Food & travel are perfect companions, and we know that Silver Travellers love to enjoy local delicacies in different destinations on their travels. Each month, our Food and Literary Editor features a river cruise with a local recipe and one lucky Silver Traveller will win a cookery book which specialises in that destination.
Enjoy the flavours!
