Traveling Spoon
Culinary Tourism Brings Cultures Together One Home-Cooked Meal at a Time
By Lisa Rubenson
Starting a business can be a bit like creating a recipe from scratch. You begin with an original idea, gather the essential elements, then go forth with a mix of passion, skill, and determination that reflects your original vision. If all goes according to plan, give or take a pinch of trial and error, the result is a success worth sharing.
A SAMPLING OF TRAVELING SPOON EXPERIENCES:
Private cooking classes in cities all over the world: Athens, Bali, Bangkok, Brussels, Chiang Mai, Kyoto, Florence, Mexico City, New Delhi, Seoul, Tokyo
Mumbai Market Tour and Cooking Class
Casablanca Market Tour and Cooking Lesson
Icelandic Home-cooking with Musical Hosts
Interactive Market Tour & Paella Class in Barcelona
Private Cheese Tour in Italy
Cook a Colombian Meal with a Chef & His Family
Traditional Dishes of Nepal
This is the kind of venture Aashi Vel and Steph Lawrence started on in 2011, shortly after meeting as graduate students at the University of California— Berkeley Haas School of Business. The women had no way of knowing they would spend the majority of their time at Haas developing their own culinary tourism company, Traveling Spoon, Inc., which connects travelers to in-home cooks all over the world.
Aashi, a graduate of the Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD), had been working as an award-winning industrial designer. Steph, with a degree in sociology from Dartmouth College, had built a successful career working with international development agencies, women’s micro-enterprise groups, and as a marketing consultant in the food industry. Each had come to Haas looking for new challenges and entrepreneurial opportunities.
In a bit of delicious irony, the two struck up a conversation at the hors d’oeuvre table at a campus welcome reception. They quickly discovered a shared interest in cooking, world cuisine, and travel, and swapped stories about how hard it was to find culturally authentic dining experiences when abroad.
Steph described a family trip to China in 2007. After more than two weeks visiting tourist hot spots and eating with other Westerners, Steph felt disconnected from the Chinese people and culture. She vowed to return and, in two years, she did, enrolling in an extensive Mandarin language study program.
“I wanted to learn the language so I could connect more deeply with the culture,” says Steph. “Specifically, I wanted to find a Chinese grandmother and have her teach me how to make dumplings—to learn the family recipes that people were learning in their homes.” Not being able to find the cultural experience she was looking for was her first “light bulb moment” that she may have to create her own.
Aashi shared Steph’s frustration and had a similar story to tell. “I like to explore different cultures through food,” she says. Despite her efforts to find out-of-the-way restaurants with good reviews and authentic food, she would often find cuisine that catered more to a Western palate.
Once, when traveling in Mexico, Aashi was walking through a village on her way to a local restaurant. Through an open window, she saw a woman cooking dinner in her kitchen. The smells and sounds of an authentic Mexican meal being prepared stopped her in her tracks.
“This is where I wanted to eat,” she recalls. “I wanted to cook with this woman, sit at her table, eat local, authentic food and hear her stories.”
While Aashi did not knock on the woman’s door that night, that longing for a meaningful connection to a local home cook stayed with her. When Aashi and Steph discovered they had such similar stories, the idea for Traveling Spoon was born. They refined their concept in their classes at Haas and, after graduating in 2013, co-founded and became co-CEOs of the company.
Traveling Spoon invites travelers to “travel off the eaten path,” meaning they can choose from a range of more than 1,000 private, authentic dining and cooking experiences with home cooks in 110 destinations across 40 countries. Travelers can show up, sit down and enjoy a home-cooked meal, or they can book an experience that includes going to the market with a host and learning how to prepare a local meal, start to finish.
“Sharing a meal is the best way for people to get to know one another. This is how we realize how similar we are, despite being from different parts of the world, different cultures.”
Hosts set their own prices, to which Traveling Spoon adds a markup. Before a host can be added to the site, Aashi and Steph or one of their trusted, in-country ambassadors personally vets each host. This includes traveling to the host home, sampling their food, and assuring the location is safe and accessible.
“We are on a mission to transform every traveler’s journey,” says Aashi. “Sharing a meal is the best way for people to get to know one another. This is how we realize how similar we are, despite being from different parts of the world , different cultures.”
There are benefits for the hosts, as well.
“Seventy to 80 percent of the fees go directly to the hosts, so we feel great about being able to contribute to the local economies,” says Aashi. One host in Indonesia had an injury that left him unable to work. The revenue he generated as a Traveling Spoon host meant he could still afford to send his kids to school.
“We want to focus on the meaningful connection between the traveler and the host,” says Steph, pointing out that they often hear about long-term friendships developing between the two parties. “When you come into someone’s home and break bread together, it changes your perceptions of the unknown. Th is can only make the world, and the distance between us, smaller.”
Steph and Aashi, along with a small team of full-time employees, run Traveling Spoon out of their offices in the San Francisco Bay Area. Their ambassadors help promote the company abroad, and they rely on a team of trusted technical and industry advisors—leaders in the travel and tourism space—to ensure they stay current with trends.
“People who are passionate about food and travel see this as the future of travel,” says Steph. “They want to be a part of it.” The curatorial business model, along with leadership’s commitment to personally vet each host, sets the company apart from others in the fast-growing culinary or “gastro” tourism industry.
Both women are intent on managing the growth of their company at apace that will enable them to preserve the integrity and authenticity of their curated experiences. For Aashi and Steph, women who built their company on a foundation of friendship and a passion for food and travel, there’s no substitute for quality when creating a recipe for success.

Delta, Riyadh Air sign strategic agreement to expand connectivity and premium travel options across North America, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and beyond
- New partnership will include a range of benefits for consumers traveling between North America, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and beyond.
- Delta, Riyadh Air to strengthen connectivity and harness future growth opportunities for both carriers.
- Agreement will enhance competition with an array of new travel choices for consumers, including future Delta service between the U.S. and Riyadh.
- Delta will serve as Riyadh Air's exclusive partner in North America, while Riyadh Air will be Delta's exclusive partner in Riyadh and beyond.
ATLANTA , July 9, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Delta Air Lines, the world's leading premium airline, and Riyadh Air, Saudi Arabia's innovative new full-service global carrier, have signed a Strategic Cooperation Memorandum of Understanding with the goal of introducing a broad range of benefits for customers traveling between North America, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and destinations beyond.
The agreement, signed today at a ceremony at Delta's World Headquarters in Atlanta, serves as the foundation for a strategic partnership that will enable both airlines to strengthen connectivity, expand their networks and drive future growth.
"This partnership with Riyadh Air will further Delta's mission of connecting the world and open an array of new choices, benefits and destinations for our customers traveling to and from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia," said Delta CEO Ed Bastian. "Most importantly, Riyadh Air shares Delta's commitment to providing an elevated customer experience, which is why we're looking forward to building and expanding this partnership in the months and years ahead. We appreciate the opportunity to work with the Riyadh Air team and the Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia as they transform the transportation economy in the Kingdom."
"We look forward to enjoying a very warm and productive relationship with Delta Air Lines, one of the largest and most successful airlines in the world. Riyadh Air and Delta Air Lines share common goals and pursue the highest standards in many areas including guest experience, loyalty, and sustainability, built upon great networks and strong connectivity," said Riyadh Air CEO Tony Douglas.
The agreement envisions a long-term relationship, subject to regulatory approvals, that includes interline and codeshare connectivity, as well as a deeper partnership encompassing loyalty, customer experience, digital transformation and broader aviation services such as maintenance, repair and overhaul services, ground handling and training. In the future, the airlines intend to explore an immunized joint venture to further expand the partnership and allow collaboration on network planning and growth in the region. Both airlines are committed to driving the best sustainability practices throughout their operations as they transform the future of travel.
The partnership will open new destinations in Saudi Arabia and beyond for Delta customers, including future nonstop service on Delta between the U.S. and King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh. It will provide leisure travelers with a new region of the world to explore while creating new opportunities for business travelers to Riyadh, a G20 capital city, plus destinations beyond. And it will offer Delta's leading North American network for Riyadh Air customers, offering convenient access to hundreds of destinations in the U.S. and beyond with Delta's famous reliability and elevated service.
The new partnership comes as large-scale, ongoing investments in the Kingdom are transforming it into a popular and attractive destination for both leisure and business travelers. Travel is central to the nation's long-term economic growth plan, with an $800 billion investment in the tourism sector that includes development of luxury resorts on the Red Sea, the opening of the Diriyah and al-Ula historical site to visitors, and the hosting of the 2030 Riyadh Expo.
Riyadh Air, which will begin operations in 2025, is committed to building a premier carrier for customers traveling to and from the Middle East, with its base of operations in Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia. Delta, which will mark its 100 th anniversary next year, is the most-awarded U.S. airline with an industry-leading global network and an unrivaled reputation for outstanding customer service and operational excellence.
"It's fitting that Riyadh Air will begin its journey the same year that Delta launches our second century of flight," Bastian said. "We'll have many opportunities to learn from each other and become better airlines for our mutual customers, our employees, our investors and our communities as we fly forward together."

Planning on traveling for the Fourth of July holiday? Here’s how to avoid the rush

NEW YORK (AP) — The Fourth of July is right around the corner, and the travel rush is already heating up.
Millions of Americans are preparing to get out of town sometime in the coming holiday week. That will likely mean busy roads, as well as packed airports and train stations.
Motor club AAA projects that some 70.9 million travelers will head 50 miles (80 kilometers) or more from their homes over a nine-day Independence Day travel period — surpassing pre-pandemic numbers for the U.S. holiday. And the Transportation Security Administration expects to screen over 32 million individuals in airports from this Thursday through July 8, up 5.4% from last year’s numbers.
Are you traveling for the Fourth? Here’s a rundown of what you need to know.
When is the best time to hit the road for July Fourth?
Smooth sailing for travel around any holiday is never a given. But avoiding the most hectic times, when others are rushing out of town, is a good way to start.
If you’re traveling by car for the Fourth of July, it’s best to hit the road in the morning, according to transportation data and insights provider INRIX. Peak traffic congestion varies by location, INRIX data published by AAA shows, but the worst times to drive on, or leading up to, the holiday are generally between 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. Either way, be prepared for the roads to be jammed.
“Road trips over the holiday week could take up to 67% longer than normal,” Bob Pishue, transportation analyst at INRIX, said in a prepared statement.
This story is featured in our One Notable Number series , which spotlights the key numbers leading our coverage.

July Fourth falls on a Thursday this year, and many travelers will likely take Friday July 5th off to extend their trip into a four-day weekend. Drivers in large metro areas can expect the biggest delays on Wednesday July 3 and Sunday July 7 — as travelers leave and return to town, Pishue added.
And if you’re renting a car ahead of July Fourth, the busiest pickup days will be Friday, Saturday and Wednesday before the holiday, AAA notes.
When will airports be busiest?
Airports will also likely be packed all week long — but the TSA expects most people will take to the skies on Friday.
It anticipates that it will screen more than 3 million individuals Friday. That would surpass the agency’s current record for most people screened on a single day, which reached just under 3 million last Sunday.
“We expect this summer to be our busiest ever,” TSA Administrator David Pekoske said, adding that travel typical peaks around Independence Day.
Last year, the busiest day for Fourth of July air travel was also the Friday ahead of the holiday, TSA data shows. If past trends hold, travel will likely be higher on the days before and after the Fourth — particularly closer to the weekend. In 2023, for example, more than 2 million people were screened on the Fourth, which landed on a Tuesday last year, down from 2.88 million the Friday before.
What should I do if my flight is delayed or canceled?
Flights can be delayed or canceled for an array of reasons — from plane-specific mechanical problems to major storms impacting popular travel paths.
If your flight is canceled, airlines are required to provide refunds for customers, even if the cancellation is due to weather . Delays are trickier, because they typically have to meet certain criteria for relief, such as refunds or compensation — but carriers will often give customers to chance to switch to alternative flights, if available, at no cost.
In April, the Biden administration issued final rules that include requiring airlines to provide automatic cash refunds within a few days for canceled flights and “significant” delays. Those rules are set to take effect over the next two years, but the Department of Transportation has a site that lets consumers see the commitments each airline has made for refunds and covering other expenses when flights are canceled or significantly delayed.
Always check your itinerary before leaving home
It’s better to be stuck at home than locked in hourslong traffic or stranded in an airport terminal. Before heading out the door this holiday week, do yourself a favor and check the status of your travel plans.
Was your flight, train or bus ride delayed? Are there are traffic incidents set to disrupt your drive? And what about the weather? A quick look through your itinerary — such as trip updates on a carrier’s website — checking weather forecasts and monitoring traffic safety through services like the 511 hotline or your phone’s navigation apps can go a long way toward avoiding travel misery.
Here are a few more tips to keep in mind:
— Leave early: There are more people everywhere during a holiday week, so lines will be longer and roads will be busier. Give yourself more time to get to your destination or to make your way through airport security.
— Keep an eye on the weather — and not just for your destination: Look at the weather for your entire travel path. Even if it’s sunny skies both at home and the place you’re headed, it’s important to keep an eye out for any storms in between. You may need to do some rerouting.
— Be kind: A trip delay or cancellation can be really frustrating — but if you’re running into disruptions, chances are others are too. Customer service agents have a lot on their plate at this time of year, and it’s important to be patient and respectful as they try to help you.
