About this listen
Are you excited about planning your next trip? Do you want an edible experience? Would you like some culinary guidance from a local? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then this Eat Like a Local book is for you.
Eat Like a Local - Moscow by author Rita Feigina offers the inside scoop on food in Moscow. Culinary tourism is an important aspect of any travel experience. Food has the ability to tell you a story of a destination, its landscapes, and culture on a single plate. Most food guides tell you how to eat like a tourist. Although there is nothing wrong with that, as part of the Eat Like a Local series, this book will give you a food guide from someone who has lived at your next culinary destination.
In these chapters, you will discover advice on having a unique edible experience. This book will not tell you exact addresses or hours but instead will give you excitement and knowledge of food and drinks from a local that you may not find in other travel food guides. Eat like a local. Slow down, stay in one place, and get to know the food, people, and culture. By the time you finish this book, you will be eager and prepared to travel to your next culinary destination.

The Mediterranean diet has evolved naturally and is the product of intercultural interaction and development for many decades. In the strictest sense, it's not a diet but rather a normal culinary practice. Evidence has shown that the conventional Mediterranean diet reduces the risk of heart disease. It is also related to a decreased incidence of cancer, and disorders like Parkinson's and Alzheimer's. People consuming a Mediterranean diet can have a reduced risk of breast cancer.
